I've just recently inherited this machine from another system
administrator, and am having a plethora of troubles with getting perl to
run properly. The former admin had installed perl 5.6 from source.
Unfortunatly, Perl 5.6 segfaults whenever a call is made to the DBI
module. After many fruitless attempts to fix this, I decided I should
just roll the perl version back to base. Unfortunatly, perl refuses to
compile now.
Trying to install from /usr/src/contrib/perl5 leaves me with the
following during 'make':
root@mars:/usr/src/contrib/perl5# ./Configure -d && make && make install
...<snip>...
`sh cflags libperl.a dump.o` dump.c
CCCMD = cc -DPERL_CORE -c -I/usr/local/include -O
`sh cflags libperl.a util.o` util.c
CCCMD = cc -DPERL_CORE -c -I/usr/local/include -O
util.c: In function `vsprintf':
util.c:1634: structure has no member named `_ptr'
util.c:1635: structure has no member named `_cnt'
util.c:1639: structure has no member named `_flag'
util.c:1639: `_IOWRT' undeclared (first use in this function)
util.c:1639: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
util.c:1639: for each function it appears in.)
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src/contrib/perl5.
root@mars:/usr/src/contrib/perl5#
Installing from /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl fares no better:
root@mars:/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl# make all install
===> libperl
make: don't know how to make
/usr/obj/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/libperl/config.h. Stop
*** Error code 2
Stop in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl.
root@mars:/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl#
I am on my last leg here. I *need* a perl version that doesn't segfault
every time you try to make DBI calls. Hordes of angry customers will
tear my skin off otherwise ;)
