Hmm, so far I can only offer 'half-patch' and the problem explanation (I do not understand configure scripts well enough to guess how to correct them). The problem is that the -Wl,-rpath,/tools/perl/lib/5.6.1/alpha-dec_osf/CORE option (which, by the way, is returned by perl -V:ccdlflags when perl is compiled with -Duseshrplib) is not an option for 'ld' but for 'cc'. In fact it means 'dear cc, be so kind and pass to ld the option -rpath /tools/perl/lib/5.6.1/alpha-dec_osf/CORE). ld does not know '-Wl' and complains. As perl -V:ld returns 'ld', maybe this is the problem in perl, not in modperl, but I am not sure. I patched it just by replacing 'ld' with 'cc' in the Makefile generated by configure script - such correction caused link step to succeed (and 'unresolved PL_perl_destruct_level to be reported while apache startup' :-( ) Currently I plan to check the opposite correction (using -rpath ... and ld as link command), maybe this will change something. -- ( Marcin Kasperski | Working overtime sucks the spirit and motivation ) ( http://www.mk.w.pl | out of a team.
