Hello.
I have perl 5.8 from aix 5.2 box. I need install several modules on cpan but
i get errors similar to:
# perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Digest::SHA1

Writing Makefile for Digest::SHA1
cp SHA1.pm blib/lib/Digest/SHA1.pm
/usr/bin/perl -e 'use ExtUtils::Mksymlists; Mksymlists("NAME" =>
"Digest::SHA1", "DL_FUNCS" => { }, "FUNCLIST" => [], "DL_VARS" => []);'
/usr/bin/perl /usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.0/ExtUtils/xsubpp -typemap
/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.0/ExtUtils/typemap -typemap typemap SHA1.xs >
SHA1.xsc && mv SHA1.xsc SHA1.c
cc_r -c -D_ALL_SOURCE -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE -qmaxmem=16384
-qnoansialias -DUSE_NATIVE_DLOPEN -DNEED_PTHREAD_INIT -q32 -D_LARGE_FILES -qlonglong
-O -DVERSION=\"2.11\" -DXS_VERSION=\"2.11\"
"-I/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.0/aix-thread-multi/CORE" SHA1.c
/bin/sh: cc_r: not found.
make: 1254-004 Error code of the last command is 127.
Stopped.
/usr/bin/make -- NOT OK
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

I only use gcc instead cc.

I think i cannot uninstall perl and install it from another site(bull or
ucla). It's true.

Any idea ?

Thanks.

You may fake installer by using env variables: CC=gcc
I would recommend to not play with these tricks because
you may encounter unexpected results combining native perl (compiled
with Visual Age C I supose) and SOs (DLLs) (compiled with GCC).

You can install another Perl in some other dir (i.e. /usr/local/perl).
