Why do I get "Error 6060" when I try to use DBD::Advantage with a 64-bit perl on Linux?
- by WarheadsSE
I realize that I am attempting to go beyond the "supported" behavior of the manf's released drivers for Perl, after all they have only released it in package with x86 .so's.
However, since I cannot use their package with x64 Perl on a RHEL 5.4 x86_64 box, and maintaining a seperate install of x86 Perl just for this one package, I have made an attempt to get this puppy working thanks to released 64-bit .so's that accompany other driver packages for Advantage.
What I have done to this point:
download beta 10 DBI drivers, in 32
download beta 10 PHP extension (it contains 32 and x86_64)
copy the required DLLs into the ads-lib location (eg /usr/local/ads/lib64)
compile the Perl DBI driver with the path to the lib64's .so's
Good compilation, good install, good use.
The problem is that I always get :
failed: [iAnywhere Solutions][Advantage SQL][ASA] Error 6060: Advantage Database Server not available on specified server. axServerConnect (SQL-HY000)(DBD: db_login/SQLConnect err=-1)
Does anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: fixed package name in post title

It appears that it's not just the x64 perl, but the RHEL 5.4 underneath that may be interfering. As commented below, I managed to shoe-horn a x86 perl onto the system, and compile the DBD::Advantage 9.99, and later replacing that with 9.10, and none of these x86 would connect either. Neither library (9.99 or 9.10) in either bit-edness will connect from this x86_64 server to the windows server's UNC path.
I have successfully mounted this share without problems, but still I cannot seem to connect to the 9.1. I have tried:
\hostname\PATH
\FQDN\PATH
\IP\PATH
and all of these variations with the port (default) 6262 included.
My windows machine connects fine, with both 9.1 and 9.99 from strawberry perl.
