and you don't have: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-freebsd/CORE/libperl.so
Right.
I assume that when you run:
perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.28/src \
perl == /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.0, right?
Right. (Perl 5.8.1's installation doesn't automatically replace the old Perl in /usr/bin, but (a) I took care of that manually, and (b) I'm now using Perl 5.8.0, whose installation takes care of that.)
Please post the output of
% perl -V
http://www.bigtrouble.com/perl_minus_V_output.html
you also need perl's libperl.a, hence I suggested that you run:
cd ../apache_1.3.28/src gcc -funsigned-char -DMOD_SSL=208115 -DMOD_PERL -DUSE_PERL_SSI
[...]
It worked!
Good.
So, follow-up questions:
1. Should I be able to safely run 'make install' now?
Yup.
2. Whose 'fault' is this mistake (besides mine, that is...)?
it's a bug in ExtUtils::Embed, I'm filing a bug report to p5p and will CC you.
perl-5.8.1-ithread-nouseshrplib -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts -- DynaLoader
Though it seems to work fine on linux/gcc-3.3.1 with this bug. So it's possible that the latter gcc is much smarter. Updating your gcc may resolve this problem.
Also why in the world did you build your perl statically linked? You benefit from a shared memory when linking dynamically, if you have more than one perl occurence running at the same time, and avoid this kind of problems, since nowadays hardly anybody builds static perl, so you get very little testing if at all for any project involving embedding perl.
3. Is there something I could add _before_ the error to prevent this from happening?
Give me a few minutes, I may come up with a workaround.
4. Could you explain a little more about the change you made?
Yes, I'll follow up on this with more details shortly.
5. Where should I send the check?
To the Perl foundation of course: http://www.perl-foundation.org/index.cgi?page=contrib
