Fellow mod_perlers,
I found myself getting this error with mod_perl 2 on 64 bit CentOS this evening:
bash-3.2# make test

Really annoying. A Googling turned up this post from January:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/modperl/modperl/100854
Too bad there was never a reply. Anyway, I can say that I set
export CFLAGS=-fPIC
Before I built everything on this box, including Perl and Apache 2. Perl says:
bash-3.2# perl -V | grep PIC
cccdlflags='-fPIC', lddlflags='-shared -O2 -g -pipe -Wall
-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector
--param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic'
So I'm at a loss here. Any ideas? mod_perl 2.04, perl 5.10.1, apache 2.2.14,
all compiled from source.
Thanks,
David
