Error when installing mod_perl

[Octavian Rasnita <or...@fcc.ro>]

Hi,

Do you have any idea why I get 2 errors each time I want to install mod_perl
2 under Fedora Core 2, Apache 2.05, perl 5.8.6?

I get the same errors when I try to install mod_perl on more computers,
doesn't matter if I download and compile the tar.gz file manually or I try
to install it using cpan>.

I have compiled perl 5.8.6 with ithreads and multiplicity enabled because I
thought mod_perl might need this.
(Is this ok?)

Every time I saw an error telling something about t/basic.t and I don't know
what it means nor how I could solve it.

I have searched in the t/ dir, but I couldn't find anything with "basic"...

I have tried to take a look in that log file with errors, but without
success, because I don't understand anything from that file.

I've tried to compile mod_perl using:

perl Makefile.pl
make
make test
(and here appears the errors, so I cannot continue with "make install")

I have tried doing these first steps using another account than root in
order to be able to start Apache server...

I don't know what can I do to be able to install mod_perl.


Thank you very much for help.

Teddy

It's ok, but you need it only if you want to use a threaded mpm or perl 
threads (which you should stay away from)

Unfortunately your report is incomplete, Octavian. Please read:
