Subject: Error running Makefile.PL with gmp included via $LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable
OS: Redhat EL 5.x Kernel: 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5xen Perl version: v5.8.8 Math::GMP version: 2.06 gmp version: 5.0.1 Perl was configured with the following command to dynamically link necessary external libraries: Configure -Dprefix=$(INST_DIR)/perl -Dcc=gcc -des -Dlocincpth="$(INST_DIR)/include" -Dloclibpth="$(INST_DIR)/lib" -Dlibs='-lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc -lgmp -lpari' -Dotherlibdirs="$(INST_DIR)/perl/lib/perl5" where $(INST_DIR) is a valid directory which has the given gmp version already installed, as well as other modules mentioned. The environment variable $LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes $(INST_DIR)/lib. When I go to build Math::GMP (via CPAN or directly with the source tarball): $(INST_DIR)/perl/bin/perl Makefile.PL |Checking if your kit is complete... |Looks good |Writing Makefile for Math::GMP | |========================================================== | |WARNING! No GMP libraries were detected! | |Please see the INSTALL file. | |=========================================================== | | |Removing (Makefile) This issue does not occur with Math::BigInt::GMP (which also depends on the gmp libraries), which led me to believe that this is a bug with the Math::GMP module packaging/build process. The solution I devised for this issue is included in the attached patch file. I noticed that in the generated Makefile (before being deleted), -lgmp is included in LDLOADLIBS rather than EXTRALIBS as Makefile.PL expects. If there is something I can change within my build environment to correct this issue please let me know, however I believe the attached patch resolves the issue in the most flexible manner. Thank you. David

This seems like an old bug and you can try setting up the LIBRARY_PATH and/or other env vars in "man gcc". Furthermore, in the "git master" version we have support for Devel-CheckLib. Closing. Show quoted text
