Subject: Time-HiRes-1.49 perl Makefile.PL generates broken Makefile
I'm trying to build the Time::HiRes module on a newly installed red hat linux system. I realize that this may not be the place to raise this question, but, having read through the READMEs and INSTALL file, I was unable to locate the author. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated (including referring me elsewhere). Relevant information follows. [perlmodules]# uname -a Linux renoir.gvcr.com 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 17:54:28 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I am using the version of perl that came with this system.

I have downloaded and unpacked Time-HiRes-1.49.tar.gz. I get the following output when I execute perl on Makefile.PL [Time-HiRes-1.49]# perl Makefile.PL Configuring Time::HiRes... Checking for libraries... Checking for -lposix4... NOT found. You have no applicable extra libraries. Looking for gettimeofday()... found. Looking for setitimer()... found. Looking for getitimer()... found. You have interval timers (both setitimer and setitimer). Looking for ualarm()... found. Looking for usleep()... found. Looking for nanosleep()... found. You can mix subsecond sleeps with signals. Writing Makefile for Time::HiRes Now you may issue 'make'. Do not forget also 'make test'. NOTE: In searching for libraries, posix4 could not be found. I'm a perl newby. Is this a perl library or one that I should have installed from my RedHat distribution? Where can I download a copy? How do I install it so that perl can find it? If I continue to build this module with make, I get the following output. [Time-HiRes-1.49]# make Makefile:91: *** missing separator. Stop. This line in the Makefile (and the area around it) looks like: 88 INSTALLBIN = /usr/bin' 89 installhtml1dir='' 90 installhtml3dir='' 91 installman1 92 INSTALLSITEBIN = /usr 93 INSTALLVENDORBIN = /usr/bin' The solitary single quotes don't look correct. Are they? If not, how do I fix them? I have tried the three latest versions of Time::HiRes all with the same outcome. Many (many) thanks, Philip A. Holbert

First of all, thank you so much for your prompt reply. I was afraid I would be stuck for quite a while. I believe that I am able to build other modules that have compiled C code. As an aside, I'm trying to get bricolage (from sourceforge) working. It requires many modules. I've included a list of the ones I have built successfully at the bottom of this note. For some of them, I do recall that gcc was invoked. I do not remember which ones did this. Only the builds for Time-HiRes-1.49 and (BSD-Resource-1.22) failed in this way. Does the absence of the posix4 library (see output from perl Makefile.PL) have any relevance or is that just a red herring? Thanks for your help, stutz List of successfully built modules: Algorithm-Diff-1.15 Apache-ConfigFile-0.14 Apache-Filter-1.022 Apache-Session-1.54 Apache-Test-1.03 Authen-PAM-0.14 Cache-Cache-1.02 Cache-Mmap-0.07 Class-Container-0.10 Class-Data-Inheritable-0.02 Compress-Zlib-1.22 Devel-StackTrace-1.03 Devel-Symdump-2.03 Digest-SHA1-2.03 Error-0.15 Exception-Class-1.14 File-Sync-0.09 HTML-Mason-1.22 HTML-Template-2.6 HTML-Template-Expr-0.04 HTTP-DAV-0.31 Image-Info-1.12 IO-stringy-2.108 IPC-ShareLite-0.09 libapreq-1.2 MailTools-1.58 MIME-Lite-3.01 MIME-tools-5.411 MLDBM-2.01 Net-SSH-Perl-1.23 Params-Validate-0.64 Parse-RecDescent-1.94 Pod-Escapes-1.03 Pod-Simple-0.96 SOAP-Lite-0.55 Sub-Uplevel-0.07 Syslog-0.97 Test-Builder-Tester-0.09 Test-Class-0.03 Test-Differences-0.47 Test-Exception-0.15 Test-Pod-0.95 Text-Diff-0.35 Text-Iconv-1.2 Text-Levenshtein-0.03 XML-NamespaceSupport-1.08 XML-SAX-0.12 XML-Simple-2.08 XML-Writer-0.4

Doug, I also received and email from Jarkko Hietaniemi <jhi@iki.fi>. He suggested I export LC_ALL=C before installing. I did so before issuing 'perl Makefile.PL', 'make', and 'make install'. It worked! I don't know yet what this environment variable controls, but I suspect you were on the right track regarding building modules with compiled C code. Thank you so much for your help. Problem solved. Thanks, stutz
