Re: DBD::Pg 2.15.1 compilation failed

Hi Laurenz, hi all,

Laurenz, you are right once again !! By default, perl is 32-bit in AIX
5.3 !
The 64-bit and 32-bit versions are packaged together, with the 32-bit
version being the default version. Both versions reside under the
/usr/opt/perl5 directory. Both versions are Perl thread capable, built
using the newer ithreads (interpreter threads), and have built-in
support for PerlIO.

Switching to use the 64-bit version only requires redirecting the Perl
symbolic links in /usr/bin to point to the 64-bit versions of the same
command in /usr/opt/perl5/bin.

=> I thought that I was using perl 64-bit but it was not the case :-(

All the builts I did, for DBI, DBD::Oracle, etc..., have been done with
perl 32-bits...
But Oracle is 64 bit and PostgreSQL 8.3.8 has been built in 64 bit too.
I will uninstall the perl modules and re-try in 64-bit.
I will tell you if I manage to do it.

Thank you for your help.

Regards,
Alexandra
