Problem running Makefile that calls Perl script

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 ge开发者_开发问答tting 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

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

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

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

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

---

/bin/sh: /aps/APS40/RPG3_R4A/lib/cmtool/plugin/rpg3.R3B/tools/tools/scripts/sigunion.pl: not found

...indicates that /bin/sh could not figure out how to run the script sigunion.pl. It is probably missing a shebang line:

#!/usr/bin/perl

...which tells the shell what external program (in this case, perl) to parse and run the file.

Alternatively, you can just let perl be found in the $PATH, by changing the appropriate line in the Makefile to:

perl /aps/APS40/RPG3_R4A/lib/cmtool/plugin/rpg3.R3B/tools/tools/scripts/sigunion.pl <arguments>
