moderated >> AIX testers wanted for Math::Random

by Geoffrey Rommel » Wed, 12 Jul 2006 01:56:55 GMT

I recently received a bug report for Math::Random versions 0.67 and 0.68.
The environment was AIX 5.2.0.0, perl 5.8.7 (or 5.8.8?), and gcc 4.0.1. I
don't have an AIX machine to test on, and the current CPAN test results for
this module don't show any tests for AIX.

So, if you have AIX and could test Math::Random, you would be doing a Good
Deed. The following questions are of particular interest:
- If "make test" dumps core, can you isolate the exact line where the
failure occurs?
- Does specifying '-O0' to the compiler make any difference?
- Does gcc give different results from Visual Age C++?

You can reach me at GROMMEL [at] cpan [dot] org. Thanks.

2. Trouble installing modules (Net::SSH::Perl, Math::Pari, Crypt::Random) 

In looking for a good Perl SSH module, I came across Net::SSH::Perl,
which has a ton of dependencies.  While looking into this, I stumbled
across CPAN::shell, which I figured would make installing Net::SSH::Perl
a lot easier.  So, I installed CPAN::shell, but am unable to get all the
dependencies for Net::SSH::Perl installed.

The install starts bombing out at Crypt::Random (and continues through
several other Crypt modules) - it kicks out a number of errors similar
to this:

t/generator..........ok 3/18PARI:   ***   forbidden division t_REAL %
t_INT. at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux/Math/Pari.pm line
978.

I had to install Math::Pari manually (due to having to provide some
build directory), but it installed without incident.

Anyone know how I can get around this?  Or, alternatively, a better SSH
module to use?

Any ideas what I is going on here?

6. Problem compiling Perl Module: Math::Pari in AIX 5.1 

Hi all,

I have placed this post in the Perl groups but I have not been able to
get this resolved so far. I am wondering if anyone in this forum may
have tried this before with this specific module or with any other and
gotten anything similar.
I need to install Net::SSH which requires Math::Pari as a
pre-requisite. When I tried running the "make" command, I get the
following:

$ >make
......
.....
......

mkdir blib/arch
mkdir blib/arch/auto
mkdir blib/arch/auto/Math

Any ideas why it would not find the symbol? Am I missing a library?

Thanks in advance,

7. unable to build Math-GMP perl module on AIX 5.3

8. Math::GMP tests and Crypt::Random fail on Compaq (Math::Pari related ??) 

Hi,

I've been compiling Math::GMP for different OS's in order to use
Net::SFTP and I have successfully compiled and used it for Solaris,
HP-UX.11 and Linux, but I'm running into trouble on Compaq (Tru5.1b).

GMP library compiled without trouble and all tests were passed. I'm
trying to make a dynamic and only OS dependant version of Math::GMP
(and of Net::SFTP) and thus GMP was configured as follows: (hardware
model from config.guess)

./configure --prefix=$(INSTALL_DIR)/GMP --disable-static
--build=alphaev6-dec-osf5.1 --host=none-unknown-osf5.1

Now the next step was to compile Math::GMP and here are the failed
test results:

I am out of ideas what to try next.

I tried to ignore this and continued to compile my Net::SFTP but ran
into problems with Crypt::Random. The Crypt::Random tests fail due to
invalid arguments passed to divll.

Can anyone say whether this problem is related to the Math::Pari ie.
is Crypt::Random using Math::Pari incorrectly or what? Also
Crypt::Random tests take forever (1/2-2 hours) to execute. I haven't
experienced this kind of slowness on any other platform.
