I notice that 'useperlio' is 'undef' in your perl -V output and I think I saw something a little worrying about that just a day or so ago here on the list. > I can't change the Perl version, as this has been standardised No need to change it, just compile it. :) > tried various combinations of Apache 1.3.28 and mod_perl 1.28 as well.

Sounds more like it's died. :( > # perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.29/src EVERYTHING=1 && gmake Is that a root prompt? I would always recommend building as an ordinary users and only doing make install as root. I've seen quite a few people have problems related to permissions when building as root, becasue you run the server, it drops permissions, your tree was created by root... > I have tried different versions of GCC I don't think the compiler is the problem. > Just for reference, here is the output from perl -V and gcc -v > > bash-2.03$ perl -V > Summary of my perl5 (revision 5.0 version 6 subversion 1) configuration: > Platform: > osname=solaris, osvers=2.8, archname=sun4-solaris > uname='sunos solaris 5.8 generic sun4u sparc sunw,ultra-5_10 ' > config_args='-Dcc=gcc -de' > hint=recommended, useposix=true, d_sigaction=define > usethreads=undef use5005threads=undef useithreads=undef usemultiplicity=undef OK > useperlio=undef Not sure about that. > ... > Compiled at Apr 26 2001 04:07:49 Hmmmm.... :) > @INC: > /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/sun4-solaris > /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1 > /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/sun4-solaris > /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 > /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl > . > > bash-2.03$ gcc -v > Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/2.95.3/specs > gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) OK. Personally I'm tending to go for gcc 3.2.3 at minimum thesedays. Slower by quite a bit but I feel it's a better compiler.
