AW: DBD::Informix FAILURE CLASS A gcc: language arch=v9 not recog nize d

Dear Jonathan,

Thanks a lot for your sound advice. And sorry that I did not include the plattform information (Solaris) as part of the problem description. I noticed just one moment after sending the email...

By the way is it allways the case that one should not use programs together that are mixed concerning 32 vs 64 bit builds?

I will give the installation of the 32-Bit CSDK a try ... really hope this will solve my problem.

Cheers,

Govinda

I do have a big problem with a configuration failure (perl Makefile.PLdoes not work).
I studied all the provided readmes and googled endlessly, but did not
found a solution.
Hopefully you can help!

The error message is: gcc: language arch=v9 not recognized A lot of
problems I found in the dbi-users mailing list seemed simlar to this
error message, but Perl, DBI where compiled with gcc and not a
diffrent compiler. Right?

Dear Govinda,

Thanks for including all the relevant information as you did - it really helps me diagnose the problems much more swiftly than just supplying part of the information would have done.

You have a 32-bit build of Perl - see the line that says use64bitint=undef and the line that says longsize=4. You have a 64-bit version of CSDK (ESQL/C), as indicated by F in version 2.90.FC4, and you're on Solaris as indicated by the Perl configuration and the arch-v9 not recognized error message.

Because you gave me all the information, I can recommend that you obtain CSDK 2.90.UC4 for Solaris - the 32-bit version of CSDK or ESQL/C instead of the 64-bit version. This will work better with your obsolete version of IDS (DB-Access 9.21.UC6 is long overdue for upgrade; you will almost certainly get a performance boost out of the upgrade too). Assuming you can't upgrade that, the 32-bit CSDK will be able to use shared memory connections to the 32-bit server.

The alternative - harder in my view - is to build a 64-bit Perl, and then rebuild the other modules (such as DBI) for the new build, and then use the 64-bit CSDK. Beware of the Perl configuration process picking up 32-bit libraries instead of 64-bit libraries - this complicates the build in my experience.

If you decide to go ahead with a 64-bit Perl, then you have another preparatory step to do when you are ready to install DBD::Informix again.
You'll need to modify the esql script to remove the -xarch=v9 directive that is specific to the Sun C compiler and replace it with the corresponding -m64 directive for GCC. With GCC v3.3.2, you are probably OK - the 64-bit support would, I think, be built automatically. Depending on whether you want to use GCC every time, or only when you work with Perl, you will take a copy of the esql script as provided by IBM/Informix, either in $INFORMIXDIR/bin or in the DBD::Informix build directory. Assuming you do this just for DBD::Informix, edit the local copy of the script, replacing the C compiler (cc) with GCC (gcc), and replacing -xarch=v9 with -m64.
There might be other flags to fiddle with - I don't recall any, but if you have problems, get back to me via the mailing lists. Make sure "." is on your path ahead of $INFORMIXDIR/bin so you use the local script.
