Problems with mod_perl installation(HELP!!!)

[Jose Ortiz <ch...@hpcf.upr.edu>]

People :

    I had spent more than 2 months trying to make mode_perl on my RH 72. First I tried with

the RPMS but it didn't works.  Then I tryied with the tar.gz and I can't neither.

It prompts the following compilation error:util.c: In function `ap_find_token':

util.c:1410: `test_char_table' undeclared (first use in this function)
util.c:1410: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
util.c:1410: for each function it appears in.)
util.c:1410: `T_HTTP_TOKEN_STOP' undeclared (first use in this function)
util.c: In function `ap_escape_shell_cmd':
util.c:1469: `test_char_table' undeclared (first use in this function)
util.c:1469: `T_ESCAPE_SHELL_CMD' undeclared (first use in this function)
util.c: In function `ap_escape_path_segment':
util.c:1596: `test_char_table' undeclared (first use in this function)
util.c:1596: `T_ESCAPE_PATH_SEGMENT' undeclared (first use in this function)

util.c:1625: `T_OS_ESCAPE_PATH' undeclared (first use in this function)
make[4]: *** [util.o] Error 1

and some times it says that can't open the shared file libperl.so

there's also recipe 1.4 from the cookbook, which details a unix install from source (in 
addition to various binary installations):

http://www.modperlcookbook.org/chapters/ch01.pdf

we geeks tend to forget how frustrating a process it is doing this for the first time :)

my first install was on RedHat 5.2 and it was a pain - I was missing so many libraries and 
dependencies that I had to reinstall RedHat to satisfy all the RPM crud.  keep in mind 
that you typically need the 'developer' libraries (the ones that contain the header and 
other source files, as opposed to just the binaries) for redhat in order to compile stuff 
from source - glibc-devel in particular comes to mind.

also, start by making sure you can get Apache to compile by itself before moving to a 
mod_perl-enabled Apache.

all this seems a bit daunting, dave harris and I wrote this part of the guide:

http://perl.apache.org/guide/install.html#using_RPM_and_other_packages_to_

which explains how to go about using mod_perl from an RPM.  it's rather dated now, but the 
basic steps are still the same.

yes, good advice :)

good luck, and don't give up...

very unlikely that it doesn't work, try following the steps as explained 
in the guide: perl.apache.org/guide/install.html

make sure that you get the latest apache-1.3.24 and mod_perl_1.24

when reporting bugs/problems, please follow the instructions here:
