Hi, The problem was that on our machines ( Solaris 2.6, Apache 1.3.14, Modperl 1.26) we are constantly getting a "child segmentation fault (11) ". One mail in the news group suggested using PERL_USELARGEFILES=0 in addition to the normal configuration for modperl installation. We tried that with the command :
% perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=/perl/apache_1.3.14/src DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1 PERL_USELARGEFILES=0 % make && make test && make install but we got the following message : [snip] modules/module......skipped test on this platform modules/perlrun.....FAILED before any test output arrived modules/psections...skipped test on this platform .... Failed Test Status Wstat Total Fail Failed List of failed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- modules/perlrun ?? ?? % ?? 6 tests skipped. httpd terminated Failed 1/34 test scripts, 97.06% okay. 0/374 subtests failed, 100.00% okay. make: *** [run_tests] Error 29 After this we were stuck up, hence thought of copying the existing installation on a similar machine which seems to be working !.
