Re: [gentoo-user] Perl Guru's? Having isssues recompiling perl
Strange, that in your bad config.pm there is for example -DPERL5 missing,
but this is set in the ebuild, I can only imagine, that something is wrong
with your installation and you don't have all tools onboard which are needed
by emerge to in order to create the right Config.pm.
Have you uninstalled single packages, thinking that they might not be needed
by other packages?
I'd re-emerge all basic packages and then try to emerge perl again.

Attached is a diff of the good and bad Config.pm files. I have narrowed
the issue down to the perl statement keys %Config I have created the
following test program which has the same issue with allocating memory
and never prints anything.
BEGIN {
@INC = './lib';

use Config;
foreach $key (keys %Config) {
print Key: $key\n;

Have you uninstalled single packages, thinking that they might not be needed by other packages? I'd re-emerge all basic packages and then try to emerge perl again. I saw the -DPERL5 missing and I have noted that it was strange. I may get there. I haven't uninstalled anything that I didn't explicitly load myself. Additionally, if there is something missing, it isn't being caught by portage's dependency checking. I have noted that compiling perl manually without any of the patches applied by the ebuild process compiles correctly. I'm in the process of modifying the ebuild (I copied it to /usr/local/portage, bumped it to -r13 and masked it) and back tracking through the patches and defines that are enabled during the ebuild process. The other thing that I discovered is that perl on my other Gentoo box exhibits the same behavior if I run my test program against the bad Config.pm So it doesn't look to me like a machine specific problem.

How about showing us the diff? - Original Message - From: Paul Varner [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, October 26, 2003 11:49 PM Subject: [gentoo-user] Perl Guru's? Having isssues recompiling perl [Also sent to the gentoo-dev mailing list] Are there any perl guru's on this list? I having problems recompiling perl on my Gentoo box and I'm trying to determine what the problem is and how to fix it. Basically, I decided to recompile the software on my box to use the -O2 optimization flag instead of -O3. However, whenever I do an 'emerge =dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12', the compiling process ends up crashing my system. I have narrowed it down to the 'make test' portion of the process and the test that is crashing the box is lib/Config. When perl runs that test it appears to go into an infinite loop allocating memory, eventually the box runs out of swap space and the kernel starts killing off processes and I end up having to reboot the box. As as test I temporarily created a 2 gig swap file and the emerge still ran out of memory. I tried changing my cflags back to the original setiing and I still get the same results. By running the test manually from the /var/tmp/portage/perl*/work directory, I have determined that the test doesn't like the Config.pm file that was configured. If I copy over my existing Config.pm and run the test manually it works, but if I use the one created during the configure and compile process, I get the problem listed above. A diff of the two Config.pm files doesn't show anything that jumps out at me. I have google'd high and low and I can't find anything with somebody having a similar issue I'm hesitant to create a bug in bugzilla at this time as I don't have any other information to determine problem. So if there is anyone that has any pointers on where to start debugging further, I would highly appreciate it. I can supply copies of the Config.pm files on request. This one is really bugging me as there should be no reason for perl to compile successfully at install and then fail to compile properly on the same box.

A diff of the two Config.pm files doesn't show anything that jumps out at me. Since you can compile it if you substitute in your Config.pm file, are you aware of the process to step through the ebuild steps one at a time to install a package? You can use ebuild to unpack the package (ebuild perl*.ebuild unpack), then configure and compile it manually, create an empty file named .compiled somewhere in /var/tmp/perl*/ (I think it would be /var/tmp/perl*/work/, but I'm not 100% sure that's right), and then run ebuild perl*.ebuild merge. There is a FAQ on doing this that would have all the details. - richard -- Richard Kilgore [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
