Question

I’m trying to compile a C++ software a month ago.

There is a lot of pressure to make this work as soon as possible.

I’ve been looking for similar problems but I’m getting more and more confused.

I’m using the following:

bcmsa@braw176 ~/nba >uname -a
SunOS braw176 5.8 Generic_108528-13 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
bcmsa@braw176 ~/nba >make -v
make -v
GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
Built for sparc-sun-solaris2.8
Copyright (C) 1988, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 2000

I executed the command:

bcmsa@braw176 ~/nba/DLPRTER_CAA/bin/RPG3/default >make -dwp all

But I’m receiving the following:

Reaping winning child 0x0006da38 PID 27586
/bin/sh: /aps/APS40/RPG3_R4A/lib/cmtool/plugin/rpg3.R3B/tools/tools/scripts/sigunion.pl: not found
Live child 0x0006da38 (/export/home/bcmsa/nba/DLPRTER_CAA/bin/RPG3/default/sigunion.h) PID 27588
Got a SIGCHLD; 1 unreaped children.

make: *** [/export/home/bcmsa/nba/DLPRTER_CAA/bin/RPG3/default/sigunion.h] Error 1
Removing child 0x0006da38 PID 27588  from chain.

The crazy thing is that sigunion.pl is stored at the indicated directory:

bcmsa@braw176 ~/nba >cd /aps/APS40/RPG3_R4A/lib/cmtool/plugin/rpg3.R3B/tools/tools/scripts/
bcmsa@braw176 /aps/APS40/RPG3_R4A/lib/cmtool/plugin/rpg3.R3B/tools/tools/scripts >ls -la

-r-xr-xr-x   1 80422    3626        1555 Oct 20  1999 sigunion.pl

Please, help me find how to fix this fault.
I really don’t know what else to do.

I tried to execute the following just to see what happens:

bcmsa@braw176 /aps/APS40/RPG3_R4A/lib/cmtool/plugin/rpg3.R3B/tools/tools/scripts >perl sigunion.pl
Can't exec /usr/atria/bin/Perl at sigunion.pl line 1.

Info:

bcmsa@braw176 /aps/APS40/RPG3_R4A/lib/cmtool/plugin/rpg3.R3B/tools/tools/scripts >which perl
/usr/bin/perl
bcmsa@braw176 /aps/APS40/RPG3_R4A/lib/cmtool/plugin/rpg3.R3B/tools/tools/scripts >perl -v

This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for sun4-solaris


bcmsa@braw176 /aps/APS40/RPG3_R4A/lib/cmtool/plugin/rpg3.R3B/tools/tools/scripts >head sigunion.pl 
#! /usr/atria/bin/Perl

Answer 1

I strongly suspect that the shebang in sigunion.pl (aka the #! line) is pointing to the wrong place for your perl executable.

head sigunion.pl will show you where sigunion.pl thinks perl is, and which perl will show you where perl is actually installed.

Example:

$ head sigunion.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
.....stuff omited
$ which perl
/usr/opt/perl-5.8.8/bin/perl
