Re: mod-perl on Solaris 2.6
Hi, Finally, i have it working. Thanks to all those who replied. Although, i still don't know the exact cause of the previous failures but i suspect it was threaded perl builds cause some debugging thru' gdb shows something related to threads. Unfortunately, i deleted the debug dump. Anyway, here are the changes i made while making perl :- 1. Used Solaris tools (NO GNU binutils) 2. Disabled largefiles support 3. Disabled threads I tried with using Solaris tools and enabling largefile support and threads but it didn't work, so the culprit has to be largefile support or threads. Since threads is an experimental feature, i figured it must be the culprit. Whatever, thanks everyone.

I just did this myself(migrating our cluster from linux to solaris(not by choice)).
I am using perl-5.6,apache_1.3.14, and mod_perl-1.24_01 on Solaris2.7 though.
One thing to check is to make sure the same compiler is being used to
compile all the various parts. (e.g. I installed gcc in /usr/local
so I put /usr/local/bin first in my path, also made a symlink cc - gcc)
What commands did you use to configure?
vanilla mod_perl, like this?:
cd ../mod_perl-x.xx
perl Makefile.PL DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1 APACHE_PREFIX=/usr/local/apache
APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.14/src
make

Re: mod-perl on Solaris 2.6
Okay ... the compiler i've been using all along is gcc-2.95.2. If i compile
only apache, it runs fine but if i add any kind of mod_perl, it crashes.

Re: mod-perl on Solaris 2.6
Is the answer using LD_PRELOAD? But i remember having compiled successfully on Solaris 7 x86. Anyway, please tell me if there is anyway other than using the LD_PRELOAD option.

It boiled down to not using GNU binutils for anything. Including GCC. Partly, I agree. Gcc is fine for Solaris 2.5, 7 and 8, if you use the package from sunfreeware.com, and install all relevant patches. Don't use any other gnu bintools though, especially not the linker. (Well, at least not with a "stock" Solaris system. :) I have been building perl for years with that combo, and mod_perl/Apache for just over a year, and while it does require that you know what you are doing, (and it certainly sounds like Siddhartha does), it always works fine for me. Siddhartha, have you tried the $HOME/.makepl_args.mod_perl file-method to build mod_perl/Apache?? If you set this file up properly, you can build/install mod_perl/Apache with the standard: perl Makefile.pl make make test make install all from within the mod_perl distribution dir. This is documented in the INSTALL document of the mod_perl distribution, and there is a commented sample/template in eg/makepl_args.mod_perl (note there is no leading . here) of the distribution. (And once Doug relases another version of mod_perl with no _ in the version number, you will be able to do "install mod_perl" from the CPAN shell, which downloads and builds the latest versions of everything, hopefully:) Also, make sure your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH vars are set properly. (I have never had to use the LD_PRELOAD var, and I build a lot of software for Solaris from C source) If you use tcsh, (or any shell that supports it) try "which perl" and "which gcc", and "whereis perl" and "whereis gcc", and make sure that you are really getting what you think. And make sure that any sym-links/links (like maybe /usr/bin/perl) point to where you want them. I always try to make sure that my build environments can only see what I want them to see, and no other versions of anything. One other thing, look at the output of perl -V, and see if the flags to gcc for building perl are the same as what are being passed to gcc for building mod_perl/Apache. They should be, but something might be screwing them up in your enviornment, so check anyway. :) David McCabe Unix System Administrator Le Groupe Videotron [EMAIL PROTECTED] (514) 380 4433 "We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the works of Shakespeare.
