PERL question

Is there any quick fix to this?
I keep getting it whenever i try to run some automated scripts

Automake 54.1 from the 1.15.1 package from OS4Depot.net

@Raziel




Try typing the following at console

perl -e "use threads; print 'foo\n'";

Does it throw a similar error?

@broadblues

Yes

Hmm that suggests an installation error then.

Most obvious first does the file

SDK:Local/newlib/lib/perl5/5.22.1/ppc-amigaos-thread-multi/auto/threads/threads.pso

exist?

Other wise maybe run snoopy as you run that command line and see if it throws any obvious errors.

@broadblues

It does

I've just tested on FE: Update 1 to be sure that it's not a beta thing and it works OK on that too.

Our snoopy logs diverge here:

Mine caries on with doing perl stuff at that point yours seems to start searching the SOBJS path for the shared object. It's not obvious why that should be.

Random thoughts,

1. has you perl executable been stripped? For comparison

list `which perl`
Directory "Programing:SDK/local/C" on Wednesday 25-Sep-19
perl5.22.1 4841446 ----rwed 15-Dec-15 13:45:03
1 file - 4727K bytes - 9457 blocks used

2. What version of elf.library

elf.library 53.27 (10/18/2016)

3. What version of dos.library

dos.library 53.158 (09/21/2015)

4. Which way is the wind blowing?

Doesn't look like it is.

@broadblues

Well, would it help if i reinstall?

From where would i get the archive or is the one on OS4Depot.net the latest and complete?

Curious I'm away on tour in Ireland from tomorrow so have to get stuff ready, can't hel;p in any more depth for now. You could try installing perl from scratch from http://os4depot.net/?function=showfil ... /language/perl_newlib.lha

Then it installs just some files to the sdk, which i guess is far too less given the package is 22MB+

@Raziel

I can't even start perldoc with some documents without getting this error, soi i guess the whole installation is bonkers.

How do i freshly install overwriting everything there already is?

@Raziel

It doesn't list every file it installs. Just the executables, list the lot would slow things down enormously (as there are alot of files)

To remove the existing install try

DELETE ALL SDK:local/newlib/lib/perl5/5.22.1/

That removes the "library" which of most of what perl is removing the executables is more fiddly

@broadblues

Done and reinstalled (it doesn't really tell when the install is finished...it just sits there with it's window open and doing nothing)

After the reinstall, i still get the same error...

@Raziel

I now what you mean, it's really a bash script so not designed to run from an icon but the shell.

Do you have both libc.so and libgcc.so in SOBJS: ? Versions? (file sizes and dates might have to do)?

version SYS:Kickstart/newlib.library.kmod file full
newlib.library 53.30 (12.02.2014)

version SOBJS:libc.so
newlib.library 53.28

list SOBJS:libc.so SOBJS:libgcc.so

libgcc.so 56324 ----rwed 14-Nov-12 15:11:05

@Raziel

Your libc.so seams to b older than newlib (53.28 verses 53.30) That may or may not be the issue but they match here.


version FE:SObjs/libc.so full
newlib.library 53.30 (12/02/2014)

@broadblues

Yes, thatß s why i added the newliblibrary version.

I only have this 53.28 on my system, don't know where it came from, probably from an SDK backup

@broadblues

That did it, libc updated from FE install CD and the command gives me a foo

YAY!

@broadblues

Thank you for the help despite being busy packing
