John, Doug explained to me that the mod_perl Makefile.PL adds some info from Perl's Config.pm, which includes libraries that Perl needs. If your systems Perl was installed from an rpm (which mine was), it is very likely that Perl was configured to include a library (such as gdbm) that is not actually on your system. This will cause your mod_perl make to crap out during the sanity check.... solution: Doug told me to reinstall perl from source with all defaults ./Configure -des make make test make install this totally solved the problem - thanx again Doug. Note> Reinstalling perl might wipe out some other perl libraries that you want. In my case, I had to reinstall DBI and DBD.... hope this helps, -amen On Fri, 1 Oct 1999, John Barrus wrote: > if you prefer to respond that way, instead of directly, I don't mind. > > Thanks in advance for your help. > > Sincerely, > > John Barrus >
