1. I accepted defaults when building perl, which lead to a value of: ccdlflags=' -Wl,-rpath,/usr/users/dwadmin/perl/lib/5.8.7/alpha-dec_osf/CORE'
as seen when you execute perl -V; looks like this is wrong 2. This value is used in MODPERL_LDOPTS in the Makefile generated in modperl-2.0/src/modules/perl 3. the 'Wl,' construct is not used by the native tru64 compiler/linker, so this make failed 4. I changed this to a straight "-rpath /usr/users/dwadmin/perl/lib/5.8.7/alpha-dec_osf/CORE" and it compiled and linked OK 5. simple programs like rock.pl ran OK, but others I copied from a mod-perl version 1 environment failed, eg in the error log: [Fri Jan 06 11:44:13 2006] [error] Can't load '/usr/users/dwadmin/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.7/alpha-dec_osf/auto/APR/Error/Er ror.so' for module APR::Error: dlopen: /usr/users/dwadmin/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.7/alpha-dec_osf/auto/APR/Error/Err or.so: symbol "Perl_newXS" unresolved at /usr/users/dwadmin/perl/lib/5.8.7/alpha-dec_osf/XSLoader.pm line 68.\n at /usr/users/dwadmin/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.7/alpha-dec_osf/APR/XSLoader.pm line 30\nCompilation failed in require at (eval 287) line 1.\n 6. seems like my rpath isn't working, so I added /usr/users/dwadmin/perl/lib/5.8.7/alpha-dec_osf/CORE to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable and restarted apache 7. everything works now, but there must be a cleaner way to do it Thanks for your help -----Original Message----- From: Philip M.

Or did the perl on your system get borked somehow ?
