| Subject: | ld error during make on AIX 5.2 SOLVED |
This is a SOLVED bug. I'm just posting this to help others who may have the same problem.
I'm trying to install Net::SFTP on an AIX 5.2 system with perl 5.8.0 and gmp-4.1.4 installed. I'm also using IBM's VisualAge C++ 5.0.2.0. Almost all of the 20+ prerequisites built and installed fine, EXCEPT Math-GMP-2.04 (and Math-Pari).
First, I had to modify the Makefile.PL so that it could see the gmp libraries by adding "-L/usr/local/lib" as below:
'LIBS' => ['-L/usr/local/lib -lgmp'], # e.g., '-lm'
Then, I had to change the following line in GMP.c and GMP.xs from:
#include "gmp.h"
to:
#include </usr/local/include/gmp.h>
Finally, the third roadblock:

-----END SNIPPET-----
Well, thanks to the other bug thread in this forum and Guillaume Tamboise <gtamboise#houston.sns.slb.com>, I finally got around this third problem by reinstalling gmp-4.1.4 with:
./configure ABI=32 --disable-static
After this, Math-GMP-2.04 built successfully.
Thanks to the guys whose posts on various websites helped me through this! I hope that this post will save a lot of other AIX perl programmers a lot of trouble.
