perl DBI failed compilation

[bluethundr]

Hello list,

I am attempting to use the perl DBI on a solaris 10 sparc machine.
configure runs fine but I get an error on make.

This is the error I am seeing:

cc: DBI.o: No such file or directory
cc: no input files
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `blib/arch/auto/DBI/DBI.s


Here's everything from that perl Makefile.pl && make session:

[db07-dc2:~/DBI-1.618] user% perl Makefile.PL && make 2>&1 >& perlbug.

It seems like it might be a compiler issue, but when I try out gcc and
cc on their own they seem fine.

[db07-dc2:~/DBI-1.618] root% cc -v

Configured with: ../configure --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --with-ld=/usr

Before running configure and make I set my CC and GCC settings like
this:

[db07-dc2:~/DBI-1.618] root% echo $GCC
/usr/local/bin/gcc
[db07-dc2:~/DBI-1.618] root% echo $cc
/usr/local/bin/cc

I was wondering if someone might have had a similar experience and
what you might be able to do to get past this issue and start using
the perl DBI in scripts?

Thanks in advance!

Your problem is that you're not using the same C compiler that was used
to build Perl.

You need to use a compiler that is substantially the same as the one
used to build Perl, so that all compiler options are accepted. Trying
to do otherwise leads to baldness as you tear your hair out over errors.
Don't bother trying; it is really hard work. Either get the right
compiler, or build your own Perl with the compiler you have (but don't
remove or damage the system-provided Perl unless you're a braver person
than I am).
