Compiling Perl 5.6.0 on AIX 4.3.3 #3398

Compiling Perl 5.6.0 on an RS/6000 J50​:   AIX 4.3.3 (bos.rte 4.3.3.27)   IBM "C" 4.4 (vac.C 4.4.0.3)

Run 'sh ./Configure -Dcc=cc -Doptimize="-O2" -des'

The script "hangs" after the message 'Using [​:upper​:] and [​:lower​:] to convert case.'

If I ^C at this point I get lots (and I mean LOTS) of 'Resource temporarily unavailable' messages scrolling up the screen. Running monitor (PD tool similar to 'top') shows plenty of memory\, paging space and disk space.

Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Robin

How reproducible is this? (For example\, is your source directory NFS-mounted and is the server having any problems?)

Could you try again without the '-s' option? That is\, with

  sh ./Configure -Dcc=cc -Doptimize="-O2" -de

That might help narrow down a little bit where it's stuck.

Failing that\, you can try running Configure with 'bsh' instead of sh.

  bsh ./Configure -Dcc=cc -Doptimize="-O2" -de

Failing that\, you can try the incredibly verbose

  bsh -x ./Configure -Dcc=cc -Doptimize="-O2" -de

and try peering through the reams of output to see where it's stuck.

Hope this helps\,

Problem had to do with user's .kshrc file. It has been resolved.
