Hi, I'm building a new box (FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE, w/ 5.005_03) with a largely DSO-driven Apache. I've got mod_perl 1.24 built as a DSO, and it runs fine. [Since this is a production box located about 100 miles from me, maintained over a modem(!) I'd really rather not reinstall Perl.. 5.005_03's what comes out of the box with FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE, and I'm trying to keep this machine as generic as possible. Mod_perl's going in as a DSO because I'm using the same basic apache build for 4 jails -- some with mod_perl, some without.] However, when I add in a few other DSOs, httpd coredumps. The gdb output for httpd -X: ----- Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x2810d654 in tzset () from /usr/lib/libc.so.4 (gdb) bt #0 0x2810d654 in tzset () from /usr/lib/libc.so.4 #1 0x2810d76b in localtime () from /usr/lib/libc.so.4 #2 0x2810dc25 in ctime () from /usr/lib/libc.so.4 #3 0x2812b8f2 in .cerror () from /usr/lib/libc.so.4 #4 0x2825cd21 in _thread_fd_lock_debug () from /usr/lib/libc_r.so.4 #5 0x2825a5ee in ioctl () from /usr/lib/libc_r.so.4 #6 0x2812b356 in tcgetattr () from /usr/lib/libc.so.4 #7 0x281299c6 in isatty () from /usr/lib/libc.so.4 #8 0x28129106 in __smakebuf () from /usr/lib/libc.so.4 #9 0x281197c3 in __srefill () from /usr/lib/libc.so.4 #10 0x281196a0 in __srget () from /usr/lib/libc.so.4 #11 0x2833e2c5 in Perl_sv_gets () from /usr/lib/libperl.so.3 #12 0x283647b1 in Perl_filter_read () from /usr/lib/libperl.so.3 #13 0x2836586f in Perl_yylex () from /usr/lib/libperl.so.3 #14 0x28360178 in Perl_yyparse () from /usr/lib/libperl.so.3 #15 0x2837871d in perl_parse () from /usr/lib/libperl.so.3 #16 0x282c2b1c in perl_startup () from /app/pkg/apache/libexec/libperl.so #17 0x282c2643 in perl_module_init () from/app/pkg/apache/libexec/libperl.so #18 0x8055dc8 in ap_init_modules () #19 0x806018b in main () #20 0x804e8b5 in _start () ----- The modules are pretty much skeletons, but link in the MySQL client library: apxs -c -L/app/pkg/mysql/lib/mysql/ -I/app/pkg/mysql/include/ \ -lmysqlclient -lm mod_aroma.c Right now, my workaround is NOT loading mod_perl.so. However, that's not a great solution! =) The mod_aroma module works fine when mod_perl isn't in there. This behaviour also happens when I use the DSO version of mod_auth_mysql at ftp.kcilink.com/pub I've got !clue. Any idea what it could be?
