Mandrake 9.0 (and several other linux distros) come out of the box with Perl 5.8.0 built with threads. I'm guessing that having Perl compiled with threads might be what's causing the problem in getting Apache::Request installed. > > > I'm having trouble getting Apache::Request installed on my Mandrake 9.0 > [snip] > > > make test.

Well, here are the errors I'm getting: When I *force* and install of Apache::Request and a script calls Apache::Request, this is in the error_log: [Fri Jun 6 17:27:31 2003] [error] Can't locate object method "new" via package "Apache::Request" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Apache/Request.pm line 22. This is from doing a make test when trying to install Apache::Request manually: Syntax error on line 31 of /root/.cpan/build/libapreq-1.1/t/httpd.conf: Can't load '/root/.cpan/build/libapreq-1.1/blib/arch/auto/Apache/Request/Request.so' for module Apache::Request: libapreq.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 229. at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/mod_perl.pm line 14 Compilation failed in require at (eval 16) line 3. Still with the forced install of Apache::Request, if I try to call it from httpd.conf via PerlModule Apache::Request, I get this error. Syntax error on line 590 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Apache/Request/Request.so' for module Apache::Request: libapreq.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 229. at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/mod_perl.pm line 14 Compilation failed in require at (eval 4) line 3. > > > > Any chance I should build perl without the threads?

Wouldn't recommend 5.6.anything. I'm starting to agree. Just this afternoon I build Apache::Request without any problems on an RH 7.3 box with Perl 5.6.1 compiled without threads.

Yeah, I hear ya on the CPAN thing....I am building it as root, but have tried it as a regular user and get the same errors.... Any ideas? Thanks for your help, Kevin -- K Old <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
