segmentation fault after installing mod_perl2

[Michael Greenish <gr...@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

I am trying to migrate from mod_cgi to mod_perl.  My
system is as follows:

linux suse 9.2

(installed via rpm from suse)
apache2-mod_php4-4.3.8-8.9
apache2-2.0.50-7.3
apache2-devel-2.0.50-7.3
apache2-prefork-2.0.50-7.3
apache2-mod_perl-2.0.1-2.1

I added the 'LoadModule perl_module
/usr/lib/apache2/mod_perl.so' directive to my config
file.  I also commented out the check for GATEWAY in
mod_perl-startup.pl.

I attempt to start the server as follows:

   httpd -f /path/to/configs/httpd.conf -X

The process starts but the stops with a segmentation
fault.  The server starts when I comment out the
LoadModule directive.  I attempted to debug with gdb
and got the following:

This GDB was configured as "i586-suse-linux"...(no
debugging symbols found)...Using host libthread_db
library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1".

0x404c6adc in ap_pcw_walk_files_config () from
/usr/lib/apache2/mod_perl.so

The debugger definitely shows the seg fault happening
inside mod_perl.so.  

Help!!  What do I do now?

thanks,

greanie
