Make test fails on Solaris 8

Hi All,

I have a problem with building mod_perl on Solaris 8. Firstly, a quick overview of my setup (more detailed output from everything at the end) :-

OS: Solaris 8 2/02
GCC - tried various 3.x versions and 2.95.3
Perl : 5.6.1 from SunFreeware
Apache : 1.3.29
Mod_Perl : 1.29

I can't change the Perl version, as this has been standardised across all our servers. I have also tried various combinations of Apache 1.3.28 and mod_perl 1.28 as well.

I have been struggling for a while now, and have found no solutions via newsgroups or google - hence this mail. I have two Solaris 8 systems - an E220R and a E250. Both are running Solaris 8 2/02 - one of these (the E250) builds mod_perl fine - however, the E220R fails during "make test" - the Apache process just hangs during "modules/status" . I get the following output :-

modules/status........fetch /perl/perl-status?hooks failed!
modules/status........dubious
       Test returned status 9 (wstat 2304, 0x900)
DIED. FAILED tests 7-10
       Failed 4/10 tests, 60.00% okay

And after this, all tests fail. If I try telnetting to the test server port (8529), I get no response either after this - the process has just "hung".

I have simplified everything, and since hitting this problem have just been trying to compile with the following in the mod_perl source dir :-

# perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.29/src EVERYTHING=1 && gmake

and answering 'y' to the resulting questions.

I have tried different versions of GCC - each time, cleaning out and rebuilding any CPAN modules that mod_perl needs with the new compiler as well. Each time, I get the same error - yet on the E250, the build completes as expected.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

-Mark

Just for reference, here is the output from perl -V and gcc -v
