(This is also Debian bug #244578 [1] since the Debian libtool maintainers have pulled this change into the 1.5.6 release to fix other issues.)
Basically, FreeRADIUS loads its modules based on being enabled in the configuration file. However, one of the modules needs to pull in the symbols (many of them) from one of the other modules. The module loader won't load the second module if the first isn't configured, so up until recently this has been fine. However, with the removal of LT_GLOBAL from libltdl, the symbols of the first module (rlm_eap_tls) are no longer directly available to the second module (rlm_eap_ttls). Attempting to lt_dlopen the first module from the second doesn't work, and having just tried to wrap my head around the libtool code, I see that's because it doesn't recall dlopen on modules it already has a handle on. I guess I have two questions: Would simply recalling dlopen on the module allow me to drag the first module's symbols back into second module? (This would localise the fix for this issue to libltdl) Or, is there some other way to dynamically tell libltdl to resolve symbols from the second library using the first library. (I did try linking the second library directly against the first, but they build in different directories but are installed into the same one, and I ended up with a .la file with -L/home/tbble/... in it, and no success. I also suspect this will load _another_ copy of the module into memory, and it will not be initialised (maybe... unconfirmed) and therefore unusable. This solution is hampered by the fact we're on autoconf2.13 and libtool1.4, and not using automake, so the example in the other Debian bug report [2] didn't help a lot. If this is the only way, I will endeavour to make it work.) I'm not subscribed to the email list, so feel free to CC me in response, or I will check the web-archives next time I have time to wrestle with this problem.
