First, I started mucking around in the lib/Apache/AxKit/Makefile.PL and commented out the rm_f sub so I could spy on the Makefile generated in the try_link0 test.
I don't know why, but I noticed the path to ExtUtils/typemap, and did a 'locate ExtUtils/typemap'. It showed '/usr/libdata/perl/5.00305/ExtUtils/typemap', yet the file physically wan't there at all.
Sure enough, that was the jist of what 'perl Makefile.PL DEBUG=1' was trying to tell me umong all the other output it spewed forth.
so, with that in mind, I ran the locate.updatedb and issued another 'locate ExtUtils/typemap' which yielded me a typemap in the stock perl source, but nothing in the perl install.
I then did the following:
$ cp /usr/src/contrib/perl5/lib/ExtUtils/typemap \
/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/ExtUtils/typemap$ cp /usr/src/contrib/perl5/lib/ExtUtils/xsubpp \
/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/ExtUtils/xsubpp$ perl Makefile.PL && make && make test
Now everything works.
So, with all that in mind, it appears that some parts of ExtUtils aren't getting installed. I haven't yet determined whether this the fault of the core perl install, or what happenes when you install ExtUtils from CPAN along side of the stock ExtUtils parts.
As a side note, my once failing check for -lxml2 now passes.
Hopefully I can nail down the cause of this mess and get a patch put together.
Still fishin.
