Did you run 'perl Makefile.PL' in subversion/bindings/swig/perl/native _before_, or _after_, the main build? It matters. If you run it _before_ the main build, the pre-r1037358 will produce a bunch of empty -L flags. I fixed that in r1037358, so they get the directories they apparently were supposed to have attached. If you run it _after_ the main build, r1037358 makes almost no difference. The only difference I see is a ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} has been changed to $(LD_LIBRARY_PATH). Should be equivalent. Thus I conclude that you probably ran it _before_ the main build, and that somehow all those -L flags that the previous code did not pick up but the current code does, are breaking your testsuite run. Could you post the generated 'obj-1.7/subversion/bindings/perl/native/Makefile' with and without r1037358 in the source? (You can regenerate the Makefile.PL by running ./config.status in obj-1.7/.) > It's not clear that that is enough, the installed > shared objects still refer to the build directory: > > $ objdump -x /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1/auto/SVN/_Repos/_Repos.so | grep > RPATH > RPATH > /home/pm/sw/subversion/obj-1.7/subversion/libsvn_client/.libs:/home/pm/sw/subversion/obj-1.7/subversion/libsvn_delta/.libs:/home/pm/sw/subversion/obj-1.7/subversion/libsvn_fs/.libs:/home/pm/sw/subversion/obj-1.7/subversion/libsvn_ra/.libs:/home/pm/sw/subversion/obj-1.7/subversion/libsvn_repos/.libs:/home/pm/sw/subversion/obj-1.7/subversion/libsvn_wc/.libs:/home/pm/sw/subversion/obj-1.7/subversion/libsvn_diff/.libs:/home/pm/sw/subversion/obj-1.7/subversion/libsvn_subr/.libs:/home/pm/sw/subversion/obj-1.7/subversion/bindings/swig/perl/libsvn_swig_perl/.libs I think that's been the case for a long time. I actually have a patch in the Debian build specifically to work around this, dating from ages and ages ago. -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/
