Hello here to everybody who helped me when i was in troubles... I write this just to tell you where i am now, i hope it will help you to understand something new in the "linker" (???) subject.
So, my problem was, that i was unable to compile modperl 2 with apache 2. Not exactly will you say, i was able to compile it, but apache was unable to start and load the module, due to an apparent "linker" broken problem. So, i tryed the following: * I uninstalled perl 5 with a dpkg FORCE stuff, to make sure nothing else will be missing. * I compiled my own Perl 5 release, and installed it... Had make some few symlinks, and.... MODPERL was able to WORK!!! I was happy. Really happy. BUT... I have also a customized qmail installation (i am less a newbee with qmail than with mod_perl). And in this customized qmail install, i was having a Perl script, which role was to replace the "queue" function of my mail server (e.g. scanning for viruses, spam, etc.... before delivering mail). Here was the big problem. This script began to bug a lot (I saw in the logs that some subroutines was missing for example...). Guys i know you are mod_perl specialist, understand here i am just telling you EVERYTHING to make you able to understand stuffs i didnt understand :)... Then i tryed to apt-get dist-upgrade (From Woody to Sarge). Worked perfectly, 23 packages all new freshed, but nothing solved with perl. You know, i am a sort of psycho, i cant sleep knowing some of my computer is a mess... I am a kind of maniac, i like to know everything happening inside of my computers :) So i get rid of my Debian. Formatted my HDD, ZAP! Installed Debianagain without ANY packages, directly updated to Sarge, and then installed apache qmail mysql openssl etc... Now, i just finished installing mod perl and it is working. I just had some tricks to do, while compiling mod_perl it told me stuff like 'Your installation is made against libgdbm' (i dont remember exactly sorry) so i had to symlink some .so to others. The point here is that everything is just FINE now!!! My explanation: As i told you, i am sort of newbee to most stuffs under Linux. I think i had made a mistake somewhere unfindable in my old DEBIAN installation, so the mod_perl problem was maybe my fault. But i understood few stuffs when i was trying to solve the problem, before formatting and installing: I uninstalled Perl and mod_perl linked properly. So you were right guys, the linker was maybe broken, due to an improper perl installation. My mistake was that i removed perl, and so everything which has been previously configured with default perl version was broken and unable to work with the new perl installation i made... Anyway, i am really happy that everything is working now!!! Thank you a lot! Pierre P.S.: Due to my *bad* english, i bet you didnt understand anything i wrote... I will not think you are rude if you ask me for some more explanations :) Dont hesitate if you have a new idea which can help others i stay tunned to mailing list :) -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
