Why do I get "Error 6060" when I try to use DBD::Advantage with a 64-bit perl on Linux?

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:

开发者_JAVA技巧
• 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 EDIT: Updated 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.

Check the host file on the Linux server and make sure the name of the server uses the actual IP rather then the loopback address.

Also, since you updated the client, did you also install/update the 10 beta server?

Finally, what is your connection string? Have you tried adding the port to the connection string?
