I am running a dual processor PowerPC and have had mod_perl running for almost two years with no problems.  One of the applications that I have been running is WebGUI (content management system).  When I upgraded to the most recent version of WebGUI it had me install a bunch of Perl packages (http://www.plainblack.com/installing_webgui) and while I was doing that I somehow (maybe one of the packages required it?) ended up doing a recompile of mod_perl.  Now I get the error ‘R_PPC_REL24 – Cannot load mod_perl.so into server’ (my abbreviated version of the error).

 

P_PPC_REL24 has something to do with addressing size on shared modules when running PowerPC as your CPU.  In other places on the web I have found that people are saying that if you compile with ‘-fpic’ or ‘-fPIC’ that it will solve this problem.  I am not sure the difference between ‘fpic’ and ‘fPIC’ and maybe that has something to do with this.  Unfortunately, when I look at the Makefile I see that fpic is already there as a compiler option as ‘CCCDLFLAGS = -fpic’.  

 

This box is a production box that includes a perl based Ecommerce system (Interchange) so I have to tread kind of lightly on my perl and apache installations but I desperately need to get this going.

 

Any ideas as to where to look or what to try would be greatly appreciated.  I am at a complete loss.

 

mod_perl 2.0.2

perl 5.8.6

apache 2.0.50
