[rt-users] Scalar::Util::Weak Problem

[jkaufman at footlocker.com]

Hello all,

I am once again attempting (unsuccessfully at the moment) to get RT 3.5.7 
installed on AIX. I'm compiling everything from scratch on an AIX v5.2 
machine using IBM Vac 7.x.

I've compiled Perl v5.8.7 using the following Configure:

sh Configure -des -Dusenm -Dprefix=/sftw/perl  -Duseithreads 
-Dusemultiplicity -Duseperlio \
-Duselargefiles -Dd_sigaction -Dlibpth='/lib /usr/lib /usr/ccs/lib' \
-Dlibs='-lbind -lnsl -ldbm -ldb -ldl -lld -lm -lcrypt -lpthreads -lc -lbsd 
-lPW' \
-Dccflags='-q32 -D_LARGE_FILES -qlonglong' -Dlddlflags='-bM:SRE -lc_r' 
-Dldflags='-b32'

I "borrowed" the ccflags/lddlflags/ldflags/libs from the compile flags 
used on the perl that ships with Aix v5.2 BTW.


I've gotten a number of the perl modules to install, but the Weaken part 
of Scalar::Util doesn't want to compile, and that's causing other modules 
to barf during their tests.  I can only assume that this is an important 
part of Scalar::Util and I should try to figure out why it's not 
working...I don't have a clue, so I'm hoping someone else on the list 
knows...

Here is the output during the installation of Scalar::Util

As you can see, Weak complains about needing the XS version...What's an XS 
version? in the hopes of shotguning a fix I updated ExtUtils::MakeMaker, 
ExtUtils::Cbuilder, XSLoader, Params::Validate...All to no avail. 

Any ideas?
