Has anyone intsalled the MQ Perl CPAN on HP-UX 11.31 Itanium? I'm having an issue where the GCC compiler doesn't support the architecture and the HP C compiler may be a purchased item. I wanted to know what other are doing.
Thanks,
Ed |

This is not an issue with the perl MQSeries module. It's an issue with your perl installation - you've downloaded a pre-compiled perl and don't have a matching C compiler installed. This prevents you from installing any XS-based module, such as DBI.
The answer is to either build your own perl from scratch, or have the group that built your perl for you provide a compiled version of the module, or install a matching compiler. |

Actually, I was asking if anyone had done this successfully on an HP-UX 11.31 Superdome running vPars. In other words, I realize we need to get the HP C compiler, and we are working on that now, but is there any other follow on issue? Will this work on this machine? I'm getting the feeling that we may be on some new ground hardware-wise. |

That's a good question, and thanks for correcting me. I have not heard reports of people running perl and/or MQSeries on HP-UX 11.31 Superdome.
Are you sure you cannot use gcc, and save yourself a good amount of money? |

I think it was more that I didn't phrase my original question correctly - have a lot going on now.
I contacted the GCC support and they indicated that they do not support the +DSitanium2 option, nor do they plan to ... ? So I contacted HP support and we are working with them. It is likely that we may have an enterprise license that includes thier C compiler and that's being chekced on by our Unix admin. Even if we don't, I think we should have at least one such license. The HP support folks give the feeling that we should be able to get through this, I'd just feel better if someone came forward and said, "Oh yes, we've done that and it did work."
MQ (v 6 and 7) definitely works on these HP-UX 11.31 Superdome vPars. We've installed on at least 2 such boxes and tested just fine.
Thanks for you reply. |

We were able to install the HP C compiler today and the CPAN compiled correctly and the test were successful. This was on an HP Superdome vPar running HP-UX 11.31 using MQ 7.0, Perl 5.8.9 and the MQSeries 1.29 CPAN. |
