'make test' error with CVS modperl

["Bruce W. Hoylman" <bh...@advtech.uswest.com>]

Having downloaded the latest CVS snapshot of modperl, using my standard
APACI config parameters to configure and compile, it compiles to
completion without error.  'make test' however returns the following
error when attempting to start the test httpd process:

I have IO-1.20 installed, and have had it there for a long time.  Here
are the particulars for perl:

    /opt/gnu/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005
    .

I have done this process numerous times in the past with no problems at
all.  Now all of a sudden I get the relocation error with IO.  I'm not
sure why.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Peace.

so if you 'make test' with the same Perl and 1.24 you don't have this
problem?  i don't see any changes since that could trigger such a problem.
