Hi, again a question about the often discussed mod_perl DSO problem. I use Apache 1.3.11, mod_ssl -2.5.0-1.3.11, ApacheJServ-1.1 and mod_perl-1.21 Using Perl 5.005_3 statically compiled (libperl.a) with: .Configure -Dprefix=/opt/perl -Dcc=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -des # /opt/perl/bin/perl -V Summary of my perl5 (5.0 patchlevel 5 subversion 3) configuration: Platform: osname=solaris, osvers=2.7, archname=sun4-solaris uname='sunos hotzenplotz 5.7 generic_106541-04 sun4m sparc sun4m ' hint=recommended, useposix=true, d_sigaction=define usethreads=undef useperlio=undef d_sfio=undef Compiler: cc='/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc', optimize='-O', gccversion= cppflags='-I/usr/local/include -I/opt/gnu/include' ccflags ='-I/usr/local/include -I/opt/gnu/include' stdchar='char', d_stdstdio=define, usevfork=false intsize=4, longsize=4, ptrsize=4, doublesize=8 d_longlong=define, longlongsize=8, d_longdbl=define, longdblsize=16 alignbytes=8, usemymalloc=y, prototype=define Linker and Libraries: ld='/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc', ldflags =' -L/usr/local/lib -L/opt/gnu/lib' libpth=/usr/local/lib /opt/gnu/lib /lib /usr/lib /usr/ccs/lib libs=-lsocket -lnsl -lgdbm -ldb -ldl -lm -lc -lcrypt libc=/lib/libc.so, so=so, useshrplib=false, libperl=libperl.a Dynamic Linking: dlsrc=dl_dlopen.xs, dlext=so, d_dlsymun=undef, ccdlflags=' ' cccdlflags='-KPIC', lddlflags='-G -L/usr/local/lib -L/opt/gnu/lib' Characteristics of this binary (from libperl): Built under solaris Compiled at Nov 11 1999 20:13:12 %ENV: PERLHOME="/opt/perl" PERLLIB="/opt/mrtg/lib:/opt/rrdtool/lib/perl" @INC: /opt/mrtg/lib /opt/rrdtool/lib/perl /opt/perl/lib/5.00503/sun4-solaris /opt/perl/lib/5.00503 /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.005/sun4-solaris /opt/perl/lib/site_perl/5.005 on a Solaris system: hotzenplotz:jewa> uname -a SunOS hotzenplotz 5.7 Generic_106541-04 sun4m sparc sun4m configuring Apache with: ./configure --prefix=/opt/apache --runtimedir=/var/httpd \ --logfiledir=/var/httpd --enable-rule=SHARED_CORE --enable-module=most --enable-shared=max \ --enable-module=ssl --enable-shared=ssl and Perl with apxs: perl Makefile.PL \ USE_APXS=1 \ WITH_APXS=/opt/apache/bin/apxs \ EVERYTHING=1 I got a: Segmentation Fault (coredump) when starting httpd - nothing new.
