R: problem with Geo::Shapelib

2004-04-19 Thread TELARO BARTOLOMEO
Thanks Randy,
I'm using ActivePerl 5.8.3 build 809. 
The author's module (Ari Jolma) write me there is no intentionally OS
specific syntax in the module
but he had never installed Geo::Shapelib in a Windows machine.

best regards

 Hy all  I'm new of the list.

 I'm trying to compile Geo::Shapelib module from CPAN, after same
littles
 changes to Makefile.PL I successfully compiled it with Visual C 6.0,
but the
 test.pl crashes and makes
 perl crash to.

 Here the error:
 Free to wrong pool 222770 not 80100 at
C:/Perl/site/lib/Geo/Shapelib.pm
 line 333

 At that line the lib call a c-function (_SHPCreateObject) in
shapelib.dll

 I found in the list's archive that this kind of problem is created by
bugs
 in Perl's multithread support.

 How could I bypass it?

 Thank you in advanced

 Bart

This is a generic type of error - are you using the latest
ActivePerl (based on perl-5.8.3)? This has improved
threading support. If that doesn't help, it might mean
something in the module itself needs fixing.

 The author's module (Ari Jolma) write me there is no intentionally OS
 specific syntax in the module
 but he had never installed Geo::Shapelib in a Windows machine.

What might be worth investigating is if the module builds
and tests OK on a Unix Perl built with multi-threading
support; it might be a general threading issue, not
necessarily Win32 specific.

Ciao Randy
I dont' know on a unix Perl, but now I have built my perl with the flags
USE_MULTI and USE_ITHREADS desabled and so the module builds and tests OK. 
But I'm very ignorant about multi-threading,  is it useful? 
Shall I have any problem using perl without multi-threading support?

Thanks a lot
