I've seen other posts mentioning this, but no solutions. I am trying to compile libapreq-1., on AIX 5.1, with perl-5.8.0 compiled with gcc 3.3. GCC 3.3 was the only thing that I could get to compile perl on AIX without failing any tests. When I try to compile libapreq-1.1, I get:
rm -f ../blib/arch/auto/Apache/Request/Request.so LD_RUN_PATH="/.../dce.ccs.ornl.gov/fs/users/u003/scarter/compile/aix_51/libapreq-1.1/Request/../blib/arch/auto/libapreq" gcc -Wl,-bhalt:4 -Wl,-bM:SRE -Wl,-bI:/opt/public/perl/lib/5.8.0/aix/CORE/perl.exp -Wl,-bE:Request.exp -Wl,-bnoentry -lc Request.o -bI:/.../dce.ccs.ornl.gov/fs/.rw/prod/rs_aix51/usr/local/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.0/aix/auto/Apache/mod_perl.exp -o ../blib/arch/auto/Apache/Request/Request.so -L/.../dce.ccs.ornl.gov/fs/users/u003/scarter/compile/aix_51/libapreq-1.1/Request/../blib/arch/auto/libapreq -lapreq gcc: `-b' must come at the start of the command line make[1]: *** [../blib/arch/auto/Apache/Request/Request.so] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/.../dce.ccs.ornl.gov/fs/users/u003/scarter/compile/aix_51/libapreq-1.1/Request' make: *** [subdirs] Error 2 I fix this by adding '-Wl,' before the '-bI:'. I assume this is because I compiled with gcc and it needs the '-Wl,' directive. Then I get a bunch of undefined symbols so I add '-Wl,-bI:<...>/apache/libexec/httpd.exp'. This takes care of the problem and everything compiles cleanly. However, the make test fails: make[1]: Entering directory `/.../dce.ccs.ornl.gov/fs/users/u003/scarter/compile/aix_51/libapreq-1.1/c' make[1]: Leaving directory `/.../dce.ccs.ornl.gov/fs/users/u003/scarter/compile/aix_51/libapreq-1.1/c' make[1]: Entering directory `/.../dce.ccs.ornl.gov/fs/users/u003/scarter/compile/aix_51/libapreq-1.1/Request' make[1]: Leaving directory `/.../dce.ccs.ornl.gov/fs/users/u003/scarter/compile/aix_51/libapreq-1.1/Request' make[1]: Entering directory `/.../dce.ccs.ornl.gov/fs/users/u003/scarter/compile/aix_51/libapreq-1.1/Cookie' make[1]: Leaving directory `/.../dce.ccs.ornl.gov/fs/users/u003/scarter/compile/aix_51/libapreq-1.1/Cookie' t/httpd -f `pwd`/t/httpd.conf make: *** [start_httpd] Segmentation fault (core dumped) I've tried different compilers with libapreq and perl, and I've tried mod_perl built in and as a DSO. All seem to lead me to the same place. I can run simple perl scripts under mod_perl, but non that use libapreq.
