Once I actually read some of the documentation, going through the

I ran apache on the newly written httpd.conf (biomart 0.6, Leopard
with presumably pretty new apache and stuff) and started getting
errors like this:
Can't load '/sw/lib/perl5/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/XML/

The actual error is about 3 times that long. The error first
occurred with DBD::mysql. I went on the web and saw that you can get
errors like this due to compiling "bundles" (whatever those are) for
the wrong Mac architecture. So I set my ARCHFLAGS variable and re-
made DBD::mysql. Which amazingly worked, but then I got an error on
another module's bundle. And of course I installed probably a couple
dozen modules to get Biomart going.
Questions:
1) Is the best way to fix this to recompile every module I had
installed, using a more expansive ARCHFLAGS?
1a) Will compiling with more ARCHFLAGS screw up other aspects of my
mac? (I'm installing this in the system library, so that the www
user can access them, not just my user.)
2) Would recompiling mod_perl (scary!) and/or apache (scarier!)
magically fix the problem I'm getting with each Perl module?
2a) Will recompiling apache screw up everything else I want to do on
this box (my laptop!)?
3) HELP!
Hi Amir,
Strictly speaking your questions belong more to the mac/perl/mod_perl
type of forum rather than this list but
I ran into exactly the same problem when installing on leopard
recently and will be interested on how this should
be solved so if someone here knows it please chip in and if not if you
manage to find out somewhere else on
how to go about fixing it please let us know :)
