I previously had perl 5.6.0 installed on an IBM RS6000 running AIX 4.3.3. I downloaded the 5.8.0 files and followed the installation procedures with mostly default answers to the Configure script. I do not have root privleges on my machine\, and therefore install everything in ~rlg0301. The make process went ok until it tried to compile the B extension. I then get the following output​:

make[1]​: Leaving directory `/acct/rlg0301/PROGS/PERL/perl-5.8.0/x2p'

So I tried making perl without any extensions\, and got some kind of error (Sorry\, I didn't save that output). So I went back to trying to run make with extensions included\, and when it blew up\, I would just edit config.sh and remove the exetension that gave me a problem. I must have done this about 8 or 10 times untill I finally got to the point where I thought I should run make test and make install.

Then I went into the ext/ directory and ran the perl Makefile.PL;make;make test;make install sequence on all of the extensions that the top level make could not handle. (I still could not get make test to give good results on the Encode extension).

So after I got version 5.8.0 installed\, I deleted my old 5.6.0 files\, deleted the perl-5.8.0 directory\, and reinstalled a fresh set of source code from the stable.tar file and tried to rebuild version 5.8.0. I had thought that perhaps I had problems with the extensions because I was upgrading from 5.6.0 instead of something more recent. But I got the same error messages when the make process tried to build the B extension.

This is a bug report for perl from richard.l.grubb@​boeing.com\, generated with the help of perlbug 1.34 running under perl v5.8.0.

----------------------------------------------------------------- [Please enter your report here] I previously had perl 5.6.0 installed on an IBM RS6000 running AIX 4.3.3. I downloaded the 5.8.0 files and followed the installation

I know very little about AIX\, but this bug report reminds me of another one for AIX 4.3.3. What's your AIX "Maintenance Level"?

If you still have the build tree from the existing perl that failed to get past making the "B" extension\, what test failures do you get if you run "make minitest"?

procedures with mostly default answers to the Configure script. I do

useperlio=define d\_sfio=undef uselargefiles=define usesocks=undef
use64bitint=undef use64bitall=undef uselongdouble=undef
usemymalloc=n\, bincompat5005=undef

Compiler​: cc='cc'\, ccflags ='-D_ALL_SOURCE -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE -qmaxmem=16384 -qnoansialias -DUSE_NATIVE_DLOPEN -q32 -D_LARGE_FILES -qlonglong'\, optimize='-O'\, cppflags='-D_ALL_SOURCE -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE -qmaxmem=16384 -qnoansialias -DUSE_NATIVE_DLOPEN -q32 -D_LARGE_FILES -qlonglong -D_ALL_SOURCE -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE -qmaxmem=16384 -qnoansialias -DUSE_NATIVE_DLOPEN -q32 -D_LARGE_FILE S -qlonglong -D_ALL_SOURCE -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE -qmaxmem=16384 -qnoansialias -DUSE_NATIVE_DLOPEN -q32 -D_LARGE_FILES -qlonglong -D_ALL_SOURCE -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE -qmaxmem=16384 -qnoansialias -DUSE_NATIVE_DLOPEN -q32 -D_LARGE_FILES -qlonglong -D_ALL_SOURCE -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE -qmaxmem=16384 -qnoansialias -DUSE_NATIVE_DLOPEN -q32 -D_LARGE_FILES -qlonglong -D_ALL_SOURCE -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE -qmaxmem=16384 -qnoansialias -DUSE_NATIVE_DLOPEN -q32 -D_LARGE_FILES -qlonglong'

You seem to have the C flags repeated in there 7 times. However\, I don't think that that will actually make a difference. If you reconfigure\, and answer "no" to the question about "do you want to use large files?"\, are you able to get further through the build process?

If it still fails\, could you try "make minitest" then\, and send the results to p5p. (cutting out the ok lines is fine; the failures are what is interesting)

Aside to p5p - could we re-order the build targets so that the non-XS extensions get built before static and dynamic? That way Errno will get built before the "challenging" stuff\, and less of minitest will fail.

I ran the following​:

lslpp -l | grep 'bos.rte '

and got back​:

  bos.rte 4.3.3.50 COMMITTED Base Operating System Runtime   bos.rte 4.3.2.0 COMMITTED Base Operating System Runtime

Does this give you the Maintenance level? I also know little about AIX. I am just playing around with perl since the system administrators have Perl 5.4.5 installed (It takes them a long time to determine which pieces of Open Source software they want to install and support).

I ran the following command​: make minitest >minitest.out 2>&1 and have attached the file minitest.out.

But I am not sure if the build tree is exactly the same. I may have gone into the ext directory and built some more extensions manually. I remember fixing my config.sh file one time because I noticed the repeated C flags in the Makefile. I don't know how they got in there seven times\, except that Boeing has a modified (supposedly easier to use) version of emacs that has a few bugs in it. When I open a file with long lines\, the editor wraps the lines at 255 characters. It stays that way when I save it\, and sometimes even an extra blank line will be inserted. When I work with files with long lines\, I generally switch over to Nedit.

But to get to the point\, I can make a clean perl-5.8.0 directory and recompile from the beginning with any options would like me to try (unless they require root privileges). I'll go ahead and do that and disable using large files.

What is p5p?

Thanks

A Mr. Oliver Boos has replied to me that he has had the same problem on a client's system. I didn't see where he sent the message to anyone but me\, so I will copy it here.

I've experienced the same problem at a customer site and managed to track it down to a problem in lib/Cwd.pm in the routine getcwd(). It obviously does not work when you are compiling perl in your home directory which is (at least for me) located on an automounted (NFS) file system. I've been unpacking perl5.8 in a JFS filesystem (/tmp/perl5.8.0) an ran configure/make/make test without any problem.

Perl 5.6 exhibits the same problem but the problem is not fatal for compilation as it shows up in testing only (test for lib/findbin fails). I suppose the code for lib/Cwd.pm is identical in both versions.

My filesystem is also automounted by NFS. I will look at lib/Cwd.pm. Any hints will be appreciated.

Thanks

I have narrowed down my problem to the getcwd subroutine in Cwd.pm. I have attached a test script and its output that exhibits the problem. I cut out a portion of the Cwd.pm source code and put it into a test script because I couldn't figure out how to get the perl debugger to step very far into the Cwd.pm module when I included it through a "use Cwd;" statement in my test script. I also added some print statements to see what was going on in the code. My home directory is auto mounted via NFS and is called /acct/rlg0301. The _perl_abs_path subroutine works it way up to my main directory\, and then seems to go astray and keeps prepending /.. until it runs out of directories. There is probably a problem with lstat. But I am having trouble figuring out where lstat is implemented in Perl or miniperl.

I also subscribed to the p5p list. I am a structural engineer\, not a computer scientist. So I will need some help in fixing this problem in the most portable or "artistic" way. :-)

PS The subscription instructions in perl-5.8.0/Porting/pumpkin.pod seem to be out of date.

it appears that Makefile.PL cannot be converted to makefile for a number of subdirs of perl-5.8.0/x2p.

if i copy the source to /usr/mhinteg and configure and build there instead of the nfs autmounted disk\, the problem does not appear\, but i *must* build on the nfs automounted disk for production\, as i do for solaris\, hpux\, OSF1\, and linux.

Mr./Ms. Brand​: I am including you in the "To​:" list\, because you are listed as the author of Perl 5.8.0's README.aix file.

(Make your window wide for best viewing of long lines.)

When first attempting to build and test Perl 5.8.0 on AIX (4.2.1.0)\, I experienced repeated failures\, not always the same.

The solution turned out to be to use a local file-system rather than a cross-mounted file-system (which was from another AIX 4.2.1.0 system) for performing "sh Configure ..."\, "make"\, etc. After I tried this\, and found that it worked\, a co-worker said that it seemed familiar to him. I presume that this peculiarity is limited to AIX\, and possibly to older versions of AIX.

It might be helpful to mention this in the README.aix file.

(You might think that I would have started with a local file-system just for speed\, but file-systems cross-mounted from a file-server had more ample space.)

Here is the output of the "myconfig" sh script​:

Below is a snippet of output from one failed "make"--this was the most common type of failure\, although the directory in which it was mistakenly looking to find a "C" subdirectory varied--sometimes it was "/" (root's home directory)\, sometimes it was "/usr/home/lwe" (my personal home directory)​:

I found that it had dropped a "Makefile.PL" (or was it "Makefile.pl"?) file into "/" and "~" after such "make" failures. There were a couple of times that the "make" succeeded with the cross-mounted file-system\, but then "make test" failed​: once it had only 98% success\, and the other time\, "make test" decided to rebuild the software before testing\, and the build failed.

I don't know if any of the details above are of any use\, but the main idea of using a local\, not cross-mounted\, file-system when installing on AIX may save some other people some time and frustration.

Mr./Ms. Brand​: I am including you in the "To​:" list\, because you are listed as the author of Perl 5.8.0's README.aix file.

(Make your window wide for best viewing of long lines.)

When first attempting to build and test Perl 5.8.0 on AIX (4.2.1.0)\, I experienced repeated failures\, not always the same.

The solution turned out to be to use a local file-system rather than a cross-mounted file-system (which was from another AIX 4.2.1.0 system) for performing "sh Configure ..."\, "make"\, etc. After I tried this\, and found that it worked\, a co-worker said that it seemed familiar to him. I presume that this peculiarity is limited to AIX\, and possibly to older versions of AIX.

It might be helpful to mention this in the README.aix file.

From david_wallis@bmc.com

My home directory (/home/dawallis) is on an automounted NFS volume. Attempting to build perl 5.8.1 there works fine for Solaris\, but on AIX MakeMaker gets incorrect results when attempting to map @​INC from relative path names to absolute paths. First indication of a problem is during 'make' when building the first extension (B)​:

readdir(./../../../..)​: no such file or directory at ../../lib/File/Find.pm line 579 chdir('') ... deprecated ... at ../../lib/File/Find.pm line 723 readdir(./..)​: no such ... at ../../lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 165 ...

When I put debugging print statements before and after the changes to @​INC in MakeMaker (near 165) I see that it translates ../../lib incorrectly as /usr/lib instead of /home/dawallis/perl-5.8.1.aix/lib.

Switching to a directory in a local filesystem (/usr) on the same AIX (oslevel 4.3.2.0) system works\, and 'make test' approves of all test results.

From gebarnes@us.ibm.com

I've figured out part of the problem. The lib/Cwd.pm module uses opendir/readdir to determine the absolute location of "." and of various files. I'm building Perl in a location named /sites/apex_share/tools/perl.ibm.perl-5.8.5.wrk. Cwd reads . and then ./.. and then ./../.. and then ./../../.. and so on. When it gets to the point where it is trying to read the /sites directory it reads five names (5 calls to readdir) and each call returns the empty string (""). Which I'm thinking should never happen. These correspond to the five automount points that we have in /sites. /sites/apex_share is one of those automount points. So it appears that the builtin Perl readdir isn't working quite right on AIX 4.3.3 when reading the names of objects which are actually mountpoints. By moving my directory to a disk that is not automounted I can make the build work.
