Apparently, my attempt to copy from my shell session included some funky characters that messed it up. Here's what it was suppose to say according to the make.log from my zip file included in the original email-- ./xs_init.c: In function 'xs_init': ./xs_init.c:15: error: 'my_perl' undeclared (first use in this function) ./xs_init.c:15: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once ./xs_init.c:15: error: for each function it appears in.) ./xs_init.c:15: warning: passing argument 3 of 'Perl_newXS' from incompatible pointer type /usr/lib64/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE/proto.h:1500: note: expected 'XSUBADDR_t' but argument is of type 'void (*)(struct CV *)' make: *** [xs_init.o] Error 1 This is very strange. I finally figured out where I could get a copy of version 2.69. I got the exact same error. On a lark, I decided to redownload 2.68 into a separate folder and tried to recompile that. I get the exact same error. However, when I go back to my original download of 2.68 that I have, I can again compile it with no issues. I then tried compiling 2.70 with the "--disable-embedded-perl" option and now I can compile fine as long as I use that. I'm stumped as to what is going on. I got my 2.68 originally from www.mimedefang.com like I did everything else. After a little bit of searching using diff, I found that my original's xs_init.c is different than the redownloaded version's which I realized is generated via the make command. Finally, a little more snooping and I found that I was either missing (or corrupted somehow) perl-ExtUtils-Embed-1.28-87.fc12.x86_64. I guess that after xs_init.c is created, it isn't deleted when you run "make distclean". That's what was throwing me off. =) Now that module is installed, all of versions compile like champs. The whole issue appears to be with embedding perl. -Eric _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
