Hello, I have a problem with Perl 5.6.0 on OS X 10.1.5. I am using the Mapscript perl module and I need to connect to PostgreSQL from the same script. I tried DBI/DBD::Pg and I also have tried the Pg module that comes with PostgreSQL. Both fail at runtime with "multiple definitions of symbol" error. At appears all of these modules, and Perl itself, have been compiled with -flat_namespace. All of these modules seem to work fine independently. However, when mapscript module is combined with Pg or DBD::Pg, it fails.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. --script 1 -- #!/usr/bin/perl use mapscript; use Pg; $conn = Pg::connectdb("dbname=aps"); die("ok"); --output of script 1-- loading libraries for image: perl loading library: /System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE/libperl.dylib loading library: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib loading libraries for image: /System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE/libperl.dylib loading libraries for image: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib loading libraries for image: /Library/Perl/darwin/auto/mapscript/mapscript.bundle loading library: /usr/lib/libz.1.1.3.dylib loading libraries for image: /usr/lib/libz.1.1.3.dylib loading libraries for image: /Library/Perl/darwin/auto/Pg/Pg.bundle dyld: perl multiple definitions of symbol _DLAddHead /Library/Perl/darwin/auto/mapscript/mapscript.bundle definition of _DLAddHead /Library/Perl/darwin/auto/Pg/Pg.bundle definition of _DLAddHead -- script 2-- #!/usr/bin/perl use mapscript; use DBI; print join("\n", DBI->data_sources('Pg')); die("ok"); -- output of script 2-- loading libraries for image: perl loading library: /System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE/libperl.dylib loading library: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib loading libraries for image: /System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE/libperl.dylib loading libraries for image: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib loading libraries for image: /Library/Perl/darwin/auto/mapscript/mapscript.bundle loading library: /usr/lib/libz.1.1.3.dylib loading libraries for image: /usr/lib/libz.1.1.3.dylib loading libraries for image: /Library/Perl/darwin/auto/DBI/DBI.bundle loading libraries for image: /Library/Perl/darwin/auto/DBD/Pg/Pg.bundle dyld: perl multiple definitions of symbol _DLAddHead /Library/Perl/darwin/auto/mapscript/mapscript.bundle definition of _DLAddHead /Library/Perl/darwin/auto/DBD/Pg/Pg.bundle definition of _DLAddHead Alex Rice, Software Developer Architectural Research Consultants, Inc.
