Help with compiling Math::GMP on AIX 5.3

Hello All,

I am not sure what I am missing but I think it must be something
simple. I am trying to install Net::SSH::Perl and it requires
Math::GMP which I have downloaded and when trying to install I get the
following errors:

(Note: I have successfully downloaded and installed GMP following the
standard instruction as and I have added the -L/usr/local/lib to the
LIBS in the Makefile.PL

Any help will be appreciated it!!

Thanks

I had this same problem (also AIX 5.3). I was able to build Math::GMP
after I copied /usr/local/include/gmp.h to the directory (top level)
where I was building Math::GMP.

David,

Thank you . I copied the gmp.h to the directory where I was building
it . It has the following:

COPYING.LIB GMP.exp_old MANIFEST blib t
Changes GMP.o Makefile gmp.h typemap
GMP.bs GMP.xs Makefile.PL lib
GMP.c INSTALL Makefile.old libgmp.la
GMP.exp LICENSE README pm_to_blib

I still have the same errors. Is this the directory you are talking
about?

Thanks for your response.

Re: Help with compiling Math::GMP on AIX 5.3

I'm having some problems too compiling Math::GMP.. (Required by a
requirement of Net::SSH::Perl)

I have no gmp.h in my system.

Anyone have an idea in what package it is ?

Thanks,
--Ben

Yes. OK, verify that you have this in your Makefile.PL (with the -
lgmp flag):

'LIBS' => ['-L/usr/local/lib -lgmp'],

What is your $CFLAGS? I used this:

export CFLAGS="-g -O2 -mcpu=powerpc"

Also, /usr/vacpp/bin is in your $PATH, right?

You must build GMP before you can install Math::GMP.

Have you cleaned up the old GMP.c/GMP.o (uh, and probably GMP.exp/GMP.bs
as well, since this is AIX) from when you built before (make clean, or
simply re-extract from the tarball)? It sounds like the problem is that
the C compiler was picking up a different gmp.h from somewhere else, but
simply putting the correct header where the compiler will find it won't
make the makefile rebuild things...

Thanks for the responses but no luck yet. I have the -L/usr/local/lib
and I have used the CFLAGS as David posted them. I still get the same
errors. I do a "make clean" before I start again.

I am not sure what I am missing.

I Googled around and found an old usenet archive website with a very
similar problem:
http://www.issociate.de/board/goto/630875/GMP::Math_...PLEAS E_HELP!!.html

And you appear to be the OP for that old thread. Is this the same
machine you were building on back in Feb 2005? Are some remnants of
old stuff still lying around?

Check wether libgmp.a has objects for the correct object mode. Try:

ar -X64 t /usr/local/lib/libgmp.a

or

ar -X32 t /usr/local/lib/libgmp.a

You should get a list for -X32 since your perl is 32-bit (seen from -q32 in your CFLAGS). If nothing is there for -X32 then rebuild libgmp with OBJECT_MODE=32.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply.
David, This is a new server. I managed to get the other server to work
fine 2 years ago. This is a new server just installed with AIX 5.3

Heinrich,

I did what you suggested:

the -X32 did not return anything. However, the -X64 returned a bunch
of objects. So, I set the env variable:
# export OBJECT_MODE=32
and recompiled gmp. When I do he -X32, I still don't see anything but
now when I do -X64, I see only:
libgmp.so.3

I tried recompiling Mat::GMP and get of course the same undefined
errors.

Do you know how I could specify -q32 when compiling Math::GMP? or do
you have any other ideas for me? I am really not sure what else I can
try.

Thanks again for the replies.

BTNA

Now you built a shared library but still for 64 bit.
I think gmp always builds 64 bit since this is in configure:

xlc_aix64_cflags="-O2 -q64 -qtune=pwr3 -qmaxmem=20000"

So I see two choices:

Try hacking configure to build gmp in 32bit.

Build your own perl with 64 bit. I prefer to build my own perl anyway.

good luck

Heinrich
