Testing problems with apache::asp 2.03

[Gareth Westwood <Ga...@GENES1S.co.uk>]

Hi Everyone,
	I hope I am writing to the correct address. If I am wrong will
someone please let me know so that I can remove this address and not bother
you  all again.
	My problem is as follows, I have installed Apache 1.3.17 with
Mod_perl 1.25, I have also installed several (38 in total) perl modules and
glibc 2.1.3 (including crypt and linuxthreads). When I configure and make
apache-asp everything seems to be fine however when I run the <make test>
command it stops at the first test. I have presser <Ctrl + C > to brake the
program and get several lines of error message that I really do not
understand. The Apache Server works fine and I can get to it (via HTTP) from
another machine on my network.
	Could you please advise me of what is going wrong (am I being to
impatient) and how I can go about fixing the problem. I am still a little
bit of a newbie so please don't be to technical (or if you are, could you
explain what it all means). I have included as much information as I can
about my system and the full output from the perl Makefile.PL, make and make
test commands. If you need any more information please let me know and I
will try and get it for you.
	Any help will be appreciated as I have been working on this for 2
weeks and I have very little hair left to pull out.

log of Configuration, make and test


Configure

[root@test Apache-ASP-2.03]# perl Makefile.PL
Checking for the prerequisite modules...
 ... found Apache !
 ... found Carp !
 ... found Data::Dumper !
 ... found Fcntl !
 ... found HTTP::Date !
 ... found MD5 !
 ... found MLDBM !
 ... found SDBM_File !

Checking for the optional modules...
 ... found Apache::Filter !
 ... found Apache::SSI !
 ... found CGI !
 ... found Compress::Zlib !
 ... found DB_File !
 ... found Devel::Symdump !
 ... found HTML::Clean !
 ... found Net::Config !
 ... found Net::SMTP !
 ... found Tie::Cache !
 ... found Time::HiRes !
 ??? you may want module: XML::XSLT
     WHY: XSLT transformations require this module.  Install Bundle::XML
from CPAN before installing this module for the first time.

#### CPAN HELP

There are many modules that have to be installed in order
to begin using Apache::ASP.  The easiest way to install
modules is with CPAN.pm.  To use its command line shell,
execute the following:

> perl -MCPAN -eshell

Then to install any modules, like HTTP::Date

> install HTTP::Date

and cpan will do all the work for you.  For more
information, please view the CPAN docs with

> perldoc CPAN

Looks good!

Hold onto your patience, these things can be tough to work through.  
You obviously have it though to get this far!  The first time I ran
into mod_perl in college back in '97 I gave up and didn't come back 
until '98  :)

This looks to me like an operating system problem.  If
you have root access, the problem might be free memory or 
swap issues.  This likely has nothing to do with Apache::ASP
or even perl, just that your machine was maxed out at 
that time.  Don't rule anything out though.  On the
upside, you don't actually need to "make test", you
can just "make install", and if that works, I might 
happily ignore the above issue.
