I'll clone this against perl and block accordingly. After more investigation, there seems to be nothing really wrong in libperl-dev. As detailed in #486069, the test program in src/modules/Perl/configure.in should use PERL_SYS_INIT3(), which has been a documented requirement in 'perldoc perlembed' since Perl 5.8.1. The same is naturally true for the actual code in src/modules/Perl/perlmod.c too. > That said, there's also a sourceful bug in pike7.6 because the build > doesn't fail on such an error but produces a broken package instead. This still applies. While I don't have a patch ready, I have access to an hppa host so I can help with testing if you like. -- Niko Tyni [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
