I am trying to upgrade perl on a RH 9 Linux system
using Fedora src.rpms.
I built perl and perl_suid from Fedora 5.8.1 src.rpms
without problems and installed same (had to use
--force because the CGI's man and other bundle files
conflict with the man's from the CGI bundle). I did
cpan2rpm on some of them to upgrade them.
However, it broke mod_perl and killed the httpd
server. Apache was unhappy with LoadModule perl_module
modules/mod_perl.so - the libperl.so referenced by
mod_perl.so was not up to its standard.
So, when I attempt to rebuild mod_perl from src.rpm, I
get
rpmbuild --rebuild mod_perl-1.99_07-5.src.rpm
....
gcc
-I/home/admin/rpms/BUILD/mod_perl-1.99_07/src/modules/perl
-I/home/admin/rpms/BUILD/mod_perl-1.99_07/xs
-I/usr/include/httpd
-D_REENTRANT
-D_GNU_SOURCE -DTHREADS_HAVE_PIDS -DDEBUGGING
-fno-strict-aliasing
-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/gdbm
-I/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE
-DMOD_PERL -O2 -g
-pipe
-march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -fPIC \
-c modperl_env.c && mv modperl_env.o modperl_env.lo
modperl_env.c: In function `modperl_env_hash_keys':
modperl_env.c:48: `my_perl' undeclared (first use in
this function)
modperl_env.c:48: (Each undeclared identifier is
reported only once
modperl_env.c:48: for each function it appears in.)
make[1]: *** [modperl_env.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/admin/rpms/BUILD/mod_perl-1.99_07/src/modules/perl'
make: *** [modperl_lib] Error 2
error: Bad exit status from
/home/admin/rpms/tmp/rpm-tmp.88664
(%build)
I do not see anything at line 48 along those lines.
Also, the src.rpm completes without error under 5.8.0
so it must be a 5.8.1 thingy that the src.rpm spec
file does not handle correctly or a missing patch or
what?
I tried using a later version of mod_perl and run into
all sorts of dependencies, including wanting me to
upgrade httpd ....
[EMAIL PROTECTED] SRPMS]$ rpmbuild --rebuild
mod_perl-1.99_09-10.src.rpm
Installing mod_perl-1.99_09-10.src.rpm
error: Failed build dependencies:
httpd-devel >= 2.0.45-14 is needed by

[EMAIL PROTECTED] SRPMS]$ rpm -qa | grep -i apr-
[EMAIL PROTECTED] SRPMS]$ rpm -qa | grep -i httpd-devel
httpd-devel-2.0.40-21.9
and so on.
Back to good ole 5.8.0 ....
Argg, why is it always so complicated ??
I googled but did not see anything that would help.
Suggestions please?
Hopefully, an upgraded mod_perl would resolve the
libperl.so issue?
Any way to use cpan2rpm to achieve a fix?
