TIMTOWTDI From kellert at ohsu.edu Fri Aug 25 13:08:53 2000 From: kellert at ohsu.edu (Tom Keller) Date: Wed Aug 4 00:05:12 2004 Subject: IRIX6.5, gcc-2.95.2 and Perl5.6.0 Message-ID: Thanks to those of you patient enought to respond to my newbie questions about using the gnu c compiler to install the current perl on my IRIX6.5_O2. For those interested, these are the problems and their resolution: There are a number of library files not installed on the standard system. [Thanks to Todd of this list for that info.] But they are all on the Development and Overlays CDs that come with IRIX6.5. There are some conflicts that need to be resolved when installing these. [Thanks to the SGI tech support for teaching me how to do this. It makes sense only after you've done it once or twice.] You need to give the compiler only the -O flag when you run Configure. [Thanks to the Portland SGI team for this crucial bit of info.] All the other defaults work fine, even the default libraries. You will get warnings about two locations found for library files, but Configure recognizes the system as IRIX6.5, IP32 and makes the correct choice. Anyway, it was a struggle for a newbie like me. But it is up and running (at least 99.98% ok). Regards, Tom K. Thomas J.

Or something. Message-ID: <20000828155807.B1763@pound.perl.org> Hello, Perlers! Interesting summer, this one. Anyone care for a meeting? I've got two possibles, but we need locations. If you know of a place where we can meet, please let me know. These places must have: - Space for 20 people - Some kind of net access - dialup will work in a pinch. - Quiet surroundings Provided we can find a location in the reasonable future, look for a virtual.pm meeting with STL.pm and more of a group discussion/tutorial on POE. What's POE, you ask? Find me a location and I'll tell you. (That or look on CPAN. POE is rather simple to find there.) YAPC and TPC went well. I'd like to have a more socially oriented meeting in the near future (again, locations are needed, though these should have liquids and food and the net access isn't nearly as vital. ;) ) where those who were able to attend can fill the rest of our group in on what they learned, what it was like and how much of Randal's free beer they drank. Aha, one last item - If any of you are looking for employment, I have a few leads here and there...and a TON in Seattle. If you're interested, let me know and I'll pass on the details privately. I figured this would be better than simply copying the notes I get to the list. Ideas! Comments! Suggestions? Paul. TIMTOWTDI
