mod_perl installation problem

config command:

Debian SID
Perl 5.6.1
apache 1.3.22
mod_perl 1.26

in the apache_1.3.22/src/modules/perl/,there is no libperl.a
why?

Have you recompiled apache on this box? If so, you did compile it with --activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a in the ./configure?

Are you sure that you're using the correct apxs ?

I don't see anything, except what I enumerated above, that would freak out what you're doing.

I used this:
perl Makefile.PL \
>APACHE-SRC=../apache-1.3.22/src \
>DO_HTTPD=1 \
>USE_APACI=1 \
>PERL_HTTPD=1 \
>EVERYTHING=1 \


but there is a same error

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [dummy] Error 1

the point is :
there is no libperl.a in apache_1.3.22/src/modules/perl

You're using DSO method in your first post then in 2nd post you're building it by hand statically. You need to make up your mind which way you want to choose.

>> the point is : there is no libperl.a in apache_1.3.22/src/modules/perl

The problem is, why should libperl.a be in that directory in the first place when mod_perl is NOT a standard module of Apache.

The main problem for your compliation failure is that, your Perl was installed to a non-standard location. If you run BSD, it won't happen at all. Check this thread to see why -> http://forums.devshed.com/showthrea...8723&forumid=31

Here's the typical flow of a mod_perl/apache install:

• untar apache source
• untar mod_perl
• configure, build and install mod_perl, pointing it to the apache source
• configure, build and install apache, enabling the libperl.a you created when installing mod_perl, which will be in the src/modules/perl directory of the apache source tree.

My guess is that you aren't approaching this correctly. The "loose linux paths" thing probably isn't really the issue here.

Go to http://perl.apache.org/ to read about installing mod_perl
Keep in mind that you have to rebuild mod_perl and probably apache if you decide to upgrade perl. Keep track of all the commands you use somehow, to make this a piece of cake later on.

when I install mod_perl on RedHat ,it is right!
but on Debian SID ,the error occured!
Help me!!

Have you cleared out everything and started from scratch, and then done the steps in the order I layed out above?

Can you be a little more specific about what you've done and what you're doing to try and fix it?
