mod_perl make test fails

[mo...@datacourse.com]

Hi there!

I'm trying to compile apache_1.3.22+mod_perl-1.26 on a redhat 7.1 
linux box. I replace the original gcc  2.xx with gcc version 3.0.2 
and perl 5.6.0 with perl 5.6.1 both compiled in the same box.

Any help will be highly appreciated

These are the last lines of the output of 'make test'

../apache_1.3.22/src/httpd -f `pwd`/t/conf/httpd.conf -X -d `pwd`/t 
&
httpd listening on port 8529

we had this same problem.

make test expects 3 pre-loaded perl modules to be present
in order to execute.  One of them is LWP::UserAgent (part of libwww-perl)

The problem you specify only occurs if you have installed a version of
libwww-perl that is > 5.53 (probably v. 5.6)

If you don't want to downgrade, you can install 5.53 to a local directory,
set $PERL5LIB to include it, then rerun make test.

Get rid of 5.6.0.  It's probably not the problem, but you don't want it.

Can we take it that you have URL.pm somewhere?  What happens if you type

perldoc URI::URL

?

Could be that you just have the wrong paths set up (but you don't seem
to have read mod_perl/SUPPORT so nobody knows... :)

Anyway, it probably doesn't matter unless you're going to go live with a
commercial site on your installation.  I'd guess your server works OK.
Have you done "make install"?  Can you load the Apache test page from a
browser?
