Hi Philip, I am way out of my depth here!
I checked the CCDLFLAGS for different perl's on different alphas (using perl -V), including one that comes pre-built with the OS, and they are all the same. I also google'd for "CCDLFLAGS alpha" and it seems like other people on alpha platforms have the same sorts of values, possibly also causing problems porting various modules to the alpha(?). I also looked at the DBD::Oracle build, which worked - but even though it has the same value for the flags in its Makefile, it doesn't get used anywhere. It may be realted to the fact I use the tru64 cc compiler, not gcc. I'll try fiddling with config_heavy.pl as you suggested, but I am not sure what to change it to Thanks, Michael -----Original Message----- From: Philip M.

Or did the perl on your system get borked somehow ? You can change this in Config_heav.pl grep for ldflags > Dynamic Linking: > dlsrc=dl_dlopen.xs, dlext=so, d_dlsymun=undef, ccdlflags=' > -Wl,-rpath,/usr/users/dwadmin/perl/lib/5.8.7/alpha-dec_osf/CORE' > cccdlflags=' ', lddlflags='-shared -expect_unresolved "*" -O4 -msym -std > -s -L/usr/local/lib' Australia Post is committed to providing our customers with excellent service.
