Hallo!

I've got following error trying to compile the perl source on an AIX machine.

--- cut ---   `sh cflags "optimize='-O'" regcomp.o` regcomp.c   CCCMD = cc -DPERL_CORE -c -D_ALL_SOURCE -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE -qmaxmem=-1 -qnoansialias -DUSE_NATIVE_DLOPEN -I /usr/local/include -q32 -D_LARGE_FILES -qlonglong -O   1500-004​: (U) INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR while compiling S_regatom. Compilation ended. Contact your Service Representative and pr ovide the following information​: GRARNN​: gr5470 is used before it is defined. make​: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

Stop. --- end cut ---

couldn't run perldebug and to inexperienced to find out the problem my self. Not even sure if my compiler is the correct one.

Running the myconfig script gives following. --- cut --- # ./myconfig Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 8 subversion 4) configuration​:   Platform​:   osname=aix\, osvers=5.1.0.0\, archname=aix   uname='aix finja 1 5 00400b2a4c00 '   config_args='-de'   hint=recommended\, useposix=true\, d_sigaction=define   usethreads=undef use5005threads=undef useithreads=undef usemultiplicity=undef   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=-1 -qnoansialias -DUSE_NATIVE_DLOPEN -I/usr/local/inc lude -q32 -D_LARGE_FILES -qlonglong'\,   optimize='-O'\,   cppflags='-D_ALL_SOURCE -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE -qmaxmem=-1 -qnoansialias -DUSE_NATIVE_DLOPEN -I/usr/local/include'   ccversion='5.0.1.0'\, gccversion=''\, gccosandvers=''   intsize=4\, longsize=4\, ptrsize=4\, doublesize=8\, byteorder=4321   d_longlong=define\, longlongsize=8\, d_longdbl=define\, longdblsize=8   ivtype='long'\, ivsize=4\, nvtype='double'\, nvsize=8\, Off_t='off_t'\, lseeksize=8   alignbytes=8\, prototype=define   Linker and Libraries​:   ld='ld'\, ldflags =' -brtl -L/usr/local/lib -b32'   libpth=/usr/local/lib /lib /usr/lib /usr/ccs/lib   libs=-lbind -lnsl -ldbm -ldl -lld -lm -lcrypt -lc -lbsd   perllibs=-lbind -lnsl -ldl -lld -lm -lcrypt -lc -lbsd   libc=/lib/libc.a\, so=a\, useshrplib=false\, libperl=libperl.a   gnulibc_version=''   Dynamic Linking​:   dlsrc=dl_aix.xs\, dlext=so\, d_dlsymun=undef\, ccdlflags=' -bE​:/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.4/aix/CORE/perl.exp'   cccdlflags=' '\, lddlflags=' -bhalt​:4 -bM​:SRE -bI​:$(PERL_INC)/perl.exp -bE​:$(BASEEXT).exp -bnoentry -lc -L/usr/local/lib'

I don't know much about AIX compiler versions\, but the error message points to a problem in the compiler itself. You might check with IBM if there are any patches or updates available for your compiler.

Meanwhile\, something that sometimes helps is to reduce the optimization level. One quick way to do that is with

  make OPTIMIZE=''

For more information\, look for the section

  =item Optimizer

in the INSTALL file.

Hope this helps\,

Curious. I assumed that this happens if you re-run configure with a config.sh in place which said usemallocwrap='define'\, but I've just tried this and it's not the case - the config.sh I get after running

  sh Configure -des -Uusemallocwrap

has usemallocwrap='undef'

try

  rm opmini.o miniperlmain.o

and then re-run make. If that fails\, try rm *.o and rerun make. If that fails\, try starting again with a clean tarball.

I expect that the first one is the problem\, as the dependency checking for opmini.o is not perfect\, and so make may not have the rules to know that it needed rebuilding because something changed.

You probably don't have to worry about this -- I suspect it's a flaw in the test\, not in your copy of perl. The Embed.t test tries to test whether you can embed perl into another application\, but the test is looking for a file that hasn't been installed yet. If you install perl and then re-run the test\, I suspect the test will pass.

How to ensure that the Embed tests are testing the uninstalled perl has long been a very tricky proposition.
