Re: Can't load mod_perl in Solaris 8

[Rog F <r_...@hotmail.com>]

Hi, I have just come across this thread and have the exact same problem 
(http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/modperl/677372)


I am trying to build perl 5.6.0, DBD-Oracle-1.12 with DSO Apache 1.3.20 and 
mod_perl-1.26 on Solaris 7 (uname -r = 5.7?)

Everything builds fine, however when starting apache the following error 
message is printed:

  Syntax error on line 225 of /opt/www/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
  Cannot load /opt/www/apache/libexec/libperl.so into server:
  ld.so.1: /opt/www/apache/bin/httpd: fatal: relocation error:
  file /opt/www/apache/libexec/libperl.so: symbol PL_markstack_ptr:
  referenced symbol not found
  /opt/www/apache/bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

Perl is not built to be binary compatible to 5005 (-Ubincompat5005) and I 
have tried using both Perl's & Solaris's malloc.

Building as DSO should be possible I have this combination working fine on 
HPUX.

Isn't this PL_markstack_ptr problem likely to be a missing linker flag or 
something from the Perl build telling it to export the symbols into 
libperl.so (or something..)?  I'd appreciate any ideas/help on this

Many thanks

Roger Foskett
