Hi there.
For the last few days, I've been trying to install mod_perl for my server. It's running Slackware 12.0 with Apache 2.2.8 (with APR 1.2.12) and Perl 5.10.0. The version of mod_perl I'm using is 2.0.4-dev, a recent SVN checkout. I would be normally be using the stable, but I've heard that it's incompatible with the current Perl stable. I had no issues with compiling Apache, APR, Perl or mod_perl, and both Apache & Perl has been compiled for the worker MPM. It's the 'make test' that keeps failing. Here's the output of the tests that fail...

Does anyone know why this is failing and how I can prevent it? Huge thanks to any replies. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
