mod_perl, apache, slashcode

[manual_overide]

I'm trying to install slashcode on my RH 7 box. I'm following the instructions exactly, but when I go to build mod_perl, I get this error:


mod_perl.c: In function `perl_handler':
mod_perl.c:783: `PL_siggv' undeclared (first use in this function)
mod_perl.c:783: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
mod_perl.c:783: for each function it appears in.)
make[5]: *** [mod_perl.o] Error 1
make[4]: *** [all] Error 1
make[3]: *** [subdirs] Error 1

make[1]: *** [build] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/wuebker/downloads/apache_1.3.6'
make: *** [apaci_httpd] Error 2


What am I doing wrong? I wouldn't know where to begin to fix someone else's coding mistake. I'm not very good at linking errors to begin with, plus I can't even find mod_perl.c so fixing the code is almost out of the question. Please help. I've been pulling my hair out for hours over this. It's begining to drive me nuts. Thanks.

It's definately not a coding mistake.

What version of Perl, and mod_perl are you using? Why are you using Apache 1.3.6?

You may as well as post the output of 'perl -V' also.

I tried with the newer versions first, but got the same error, so I'd thought I'd stick with what the INSTALL doc said would work.

perl is 5.6.0 I even reinstalled this from source to see if it would correct the problem, but it hasn't. Am I a vicitm of the new gcc that redhat put in 7.0?

here is perl -V:

And what version of mod_perl?

I'd suggest trying Perl 5.6.0, Apache 1.3.14, and mod_perl 1.24_01, all compiled from source.

Am I a vicitm of the new gcc that redhat put in 7.0?

I don't think so.

BTW, your Perl config *looks* fine. I was just wondering if you'd enabled threading or anything, because that can sometimes cause problems.
