[Orca-users] Orca Build problem - rrdtool

[Paul Porcelli]

Hi there,
I have downloaded and compiled perl 5.8.5 in 64 bit mode due to
limitations on
the number of file descriptors you can open(256) in the 32 bit version.

Now having problems building Orca.
During rebuild I am seeing the following errors in the rrd compilation.

Any ideas what has happened and how to fix it ?
Thanks again.
Paul

Possible workarounds: compile perl in 64bit mode (I have no idea how
easy that is but it will fix the problem on Solaris). Also its possible
that Linux has a higher limit for stdio, so perhaps try Orca on linux? I
checked and MacOS X (I'm typing this on my powerbook) uses a short in
its definition of FILE, so it would not hit the 256 limit, it would
limit at 65536.

% grep file /usr/include/stdio.h
...
        short   _file;          /* fileno, if Unix descriptor, else -1
*/

Its unfortunate, but Solaris is back compatible with SunOS 4 code that
was written 20 years ago, thats why the only time they could change this
definition was the introduction of 64bit libc, when they made the
definition opaque and put a 32bit value in that slot.
