G'day all,
I've been having similar problems to Michael Wright, building
mod_perl-1.21 on Linux 2.0.36 (Debian slink) with apache 1.3.9 and
perl 5.005_61.
I've been trying a static build ... in the final link of
httpd, two symbols (perl_eval_sv, perl_eval_pv) are used by mod_perl
code but can't be found.
These symbols are #define'd in perl header files, so I'm not
sure why they don't make it through. I found that #defining them
solves the problem (well, it builds, anyway).
This is the same solution as Doug MacEachern posted in the
thread "HTML::Embperl and 'undefined symbol: perl_eval_sv'". I've
copied his answer so anyone suffering from this problem won't have
to madly look up that thread. Just add the following lines to the
end of your existing mod_perl.h:
#ifdef eval_pv
# ifndef perl_eval_pv
# define perl_eval_pv eval_pv
# endif
#endif
#ifdef eval_sv
# ifndef perl_eval_sv
# define perl_eval_sv eval_sv
# endif
#endif
Hope that helps ...
