I am running a dual processor PowerPC and have had mod_perl
running for almost two years with no problems.
One of the applications that I have been running is WebGUI (content
management system). When I upgraded to
the most recent version of WebGUI it had me install a bunch of Perl packages (http://www.plainblack.com/installing_webgui)
and while I was doing that I somehow (maybe one of the packages required it?)
ended up doing a recompile of mod_perl.
Now I get the error ‘R_PPC_REL24 – Cannot load mod_perl.so into server’
(my abbreviated version of the error). P_PPC_REL24 has something to do with addressing size on
shared modules when running PowerPC as your CPU. In other places on the web I have found that
people are saying that if you compile with ‘-fpic’ or ‘-fPIC’ that it will
solve this problem. I am not sure the
difference between ‘fpic’ and ‘fPIC’ and maybe that has something to do with
this. Unfortunately, when I look at the
Makefile I see that fpic is already there as a compiler option as ‘CCCDLFLAGS =
-fpic’. This box is a production box that includes a perl based
Ecommerce system (Interchange) so I have to tread kind of lightly on my perl
and apache installations but I desperately need to get this going. Any ideas as to where to look or what to try would be
greatly appreciated. I am at a complete
loss. mod_perl 2.0.2 perl 5.8.6 apache 2.0.50 Keith A. Carlson J. A. Thomas Company 775.355.7500 F: 775.355.8054 www.jathomas.net -- -- |
