Subject: hiremainder symbol not found
I'm running perl5.6.1 on solaris8. I tried building the latest version of Math::Pari like this: perl Makefile.PL [fetch libPARI] make I don't get any errors. When I do the 'make test' I get this: PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /opt/local/bin/perl -Iblib/arch -Iblib/lib -I/opt/perl5.6.1/lib/5.6.1/sun4-solaris -I/opt/perl5.6.1/lib/5.6.1 -e 'use Test::Harness qw(&runtests $verbose); $verbose=0; runtests @ARGV;' t/*.t t/Pari........Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/Math/Pari/Pari.so' for module Math::Pari: ld.so.1: /opt/local/bin/perl: fatal: relocation error: file blib/arch/auto/Math/Pari/Pari.so: symbol hiremainder: referenced symbol not found at /opt/perl5.6.1/lib/5.6.1/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 206. at t/Pari.t line 15 Compilation failed in require at t/Pari.t line 15. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at t/Pari.t line 15. t/Pari........dubious Test returned status 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00) This continues throughout the tests with the hiremainder symbol not being found. When I do an ldd on Pari.so, everything resolves. When I do nm on the so I get this: $ nm Pari.so | grep remain U hiremainder Any idea what the problem is? Please let me know if I can provide you with more information.

I think there is a problem with the sparcv8micro assembler. When I specify to use C code instead of assembler, the hiremainder symbol is found. $ perl Makefile.PL machine=none I hope that helps.

Looks like a cousin to the 'overflow' mentioned in README. What happens if you do with `Configure' on Makeperl.PL line (per documentation)? This looks like a "missing underscore" or a similar problem; apparently you have some weird combination of compilers and linkers... [Now I got a handful of reports of such a failure, but so far everybody fails to communicate long enough for me to remote-debug this.] Ilya

I am using gcc-2.95.2 with Sun ld in /usr/ccs/bin which is not in my path. Normally gcc invokes ld so it knows where to find Sun ld in /usr/ccs/bin Configure looks for ld directly and finds the wrong one. I have gnu binutils installs since many of the other programs in it actually work on solaris. Is configure sending gnu ld options to solaris ld?

Sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about. Which Configure, one that built perl? Can you send the result of perl -V and discuss your findings in terms of the names in this report? Ilya

There is a comment in the PERI MACHINES file #27 that GCC 2.95.2 had problems with the O3 optimizing command. This was fixed in GCC 2.95.3.

I retested this with gcc 2.95.3 and Math::Pari 2.010603. Same problem. By the way, I'm using only the O optimizing command.

I'm somehow confused: is it a continuation of some conversation? One remark: quite often, hiremainder and overflow problems are signs of Perl being not locally compiled (thus misinstalled). Also see the end of ./INSTALL. Hope this helps, Ilya

Thanks for the speedy response. Perl is locally compiled. gcc is not using the "-fno-common" flag. The following CFLAGS are set: CCFLAGS = -fno-strict-aliasing -I/opt/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

Please follow the full procedure for bug reporting. See ./README. Thanks, Ilya

Please recheck with The uploaded file Math-Pari-2.010700.tar.gz has entered CPAN as file: $CPAN/authors/id/I/IL/ILYAZ/modules/Math-Pari-2.010700.tar.gz size: 104354 bytes md5: 3acee76566692ddf8dc1391297b5202b (Should propagate to a server near you soon...) Thanks for your patience, Ilya

Same problem. The INSTALL file says to build libpari separately and include the output of nm on the kernel.o file: $ nm ./Osolaris-sparcv9/kernel.o 00000000 T bfffo 0000005c T divll U pari_err 00000000 d tabshi kernel.o is built like this: /opt/local/bin/as -o kernel.o kernel1.s This is the nm output from the kernel.o that is built automatically by Math-Pari: $ nm libPARI/kernel.o 00000000 T bfffo 0000005c T divll U hiremainder U pari_err 00000000 d tabshi kernel.o is built like this: as -P -T -I. -o kernel.o kernel1.s Is this helpful?

This is not enough. How is kernel1.s built? Show quoted text

I have no idea what to do. You could check whether just copying kernel.o from GP/PARI helps. If this helps, you could check the contents of kernel1.s files. You can check whether removing -P -T -I. helps. You can check whether copying kernel1.s from GP/PARI helps. Anyway, gcc 2.95 is a very bad release. And I do not recall ever seeing any bug report from you (see ./INSTALL ./README). Thanks, Ilya
