I am trying to build mod_perl-1.99_08 on a RH 9[...]
system. The make errors. Below is my attempt. Can
anyone give me an idea of what is wrong and how to fix
it?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] perl Makefile.PL
MP_APXS=/usr/sbin/apxs
modperl_interp.c: In function `modperl_interp_new': modperl_interp.c:70: structure has no member named `_crypt_struct'
The problem is very simple - RH (and other distros) tends to ship fake perl releases. It takes a release and adds some patches to it, then it calls it by the version number of the release, w/o thinking too match about how it may affect projects that interface perl in C.
The code makes use of:
#if PERL_REVISION == 5 && PERL_VERSION == 8 && PERL_SUBVERSION == 0 && \
defined(USE_REENTRANT_API) && defined(HAS_CRYPT_R) && defined(__GLIBC__)
{
dTHXa(interp->perl);
/* workaround 5.8.0 bug */
PL_reentrant_buffer->_crypt_struct.current_saltbits = 0;
}
#endifso your perl must be saying that it's 5.8.0, whereas it's not. Unfortunately Perl doesn't expose the patch level define, so we can't do much about it.
Install a true 5.8.1 or 5.8.2 or what not and it'll work just fine.
The latest mp2 won't make any difference. It's not a mp2 problem.
Please report back whether it did do the trick.
