Installing Bit Vector
Hi this is my problem: I need to Install Bit-Vector on Server 2003 without gcc (I cannot install on the server) I have a notebook with gcc. I tried to : install Bit Vector on my notebook and copy the Perl/site/lib/Bit folder from my notebook to the server but dosen't work. Is there any chances to install the Bit-Vector module on the server without gcc? Can i compile the module on my notebook and export to the server?

Re: Installing Bit Vector

It all depends on whether your server and notebook are binary compatible and use the same (version of) operating system. This also includes the question whether Perl on both systems has been compiled with the same options and the same compiler and is therefore binary-compatible. Moreover, Perl must be installed under exactly the same path.

If these preconditions are all fulfilled, you might compile the module (perl Makefile.PL, make, make test) on your notebook, wrap up the whole build directory, transfer it to the server, and issue "make install" there.

Otherwise there is no way to precompile the module, except for using ActivePerl on the server and installing the precompiled module provided by ActiveState (see the README file in my module for more details).
