Hi, I have just come across this thread and have the exact same problem (http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/modperl/677372)
I am trying to build perl 5.6.0, DBD-Oracle-1.12 with DSO Apache 1.3.20 and mod_perl-1.26 on Solaris 7 (uname -r = 5.7?) Everything builds fine, however when starting apache the following error message is printed: Syntax error on line 225 of /opt/www/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /opt/www/apache/libexec/libperl.so into server: ld.so.1: /opt/www/apache/bin/httpd: fatal: relocation error: file /opt/www/apache/libexec/libperl.so: symbol PL_markstack_ptr: referenced symbol not found /opt/www/apache/bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started Perl is not built to be binary compatible to 5005 (-Ubincompat5005) and I have tried using both Perl's & Solaris's malloc. Building as DSO should be possible I have this combination working fine on HPUX. Isn't this PL_markstack_ptr problem likely to be a missing linker flag or something from the Perl build telling it to export the symbols into libperl.so (or something..)? I'd appreciate any ideas/help on this Many thanks Roger Foskett ---------------------------------------------- ## perl configuration Summary of my perl5 (revision 5.0 version 6 subversion 0) configuration: Platform: osname=solaris, osvers=2.7, archname=sun4-solaris uname='sunos divine 5.7 generic_106541-12 sun4u sparc sunw,ultra-4 ' config_args='-des' hint=previous, useposix=true, d_sigaction=define usethreads=undef use5005threads=undef useithreads=undef usemultiplicity=undef useperlio=undef d_sfio=undef uselargefiles=define use64bitint=undef use64bitall=undef uselongdouble=undef usesocks=undef Compiler: cc='cc', optimize='-O', gccversion= cppflags='-I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64' ccflags ='-I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64' stdchar='char', d_stdstdio=define, usevfork=false intsize=4, longsize=4, ptrsize=4, doublesize=8 d_longlong=define, longlongsize=8, d_longdbl=define, longdblsize=16 ivtype='long', ivsize=4, nvtype='double', nvsize=8, Off_t='off_t', lseeksize=8 alignbytes=8, usemymalloc=n, prototype=define Linker and Libraries: ld='cc', ldflags =' -L/usr/local/lib -L/opt/SUNWspro/SC5.0/lib' libpth=/usr/local/lib /opt/SUNWspro/SC5.0/lib /lib /usr/lib /usr/ccs/lib libs=-lsocket -lnsl -ldl -lm -lc -lcrypt -lsec -lpthread libc=/lib/libc.so, so=so, useshrplib=true, libperl=libperl.so Dynamic Linking: dlsrc=dl_dlopen.xs, dlext=so, d_dlsymun=undef, ccdlflags=' -R /opt/www/perl5/lib/5.6.0/sun4-solaris/CORE' cccdlflags='-KPIC', lddlflags='-G -L/usr/local/lib -L/opt/SUNWspro/SC5.0/lib' Characteristics of this binary (from libperl): Compile-time options: USE_LARGE_FILES Built under solaris Compiled at Oct 1 2001 13:14:30 @INC: /opt/www/perl5/lib/5.6.0/sun4-solaris /opt/www/perl5/lib/5.6.0 /opt/www/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.6.0/sun4-solaris /opt/www/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.6.0 /opt/www/perl5/lib/site_perl . ---------------------------------------------- ## mod_perl configuration perl Makefile.PL \ NO_HTTPD=1 \ USE_APXS=1 \ WITH_APXS=/opt/www/apache/bin/apxs \ EVERYTHING=1 ---------------------------------------------- ## apache configuration LDFLAGS="-lm -lpthread" \ CFLAGS="-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" \ ./configure \ --prefix=/opt/www/apache \ --enable-shared=max \ --disable-rule=EXPAT \ --enable-module=info \ --enable-rule=SHARED_CORE # also tried with env var LDFLAGS_SHLIB_EXPORT="" _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
