Mod_perl 'make test' failing

RT Users

When building mod_perl 1.29 according to Ruslan’s instructions at
Request Tracker Wiki, the ‘make test’
step is failing. I’m not sure what to make of the errors, and I
thought I’d ask about it before digging in.

Note: a couple days ago I upgraded Perl from 5.8.3 to 5.8.6, and I am
in the process of upgrading Apache to 1.3.33, all happening on Mac OS X
10.3. (Before upgrading Perl, I took a bundle snapshot, and afterwards
I installed that bundle.)

Also note: I followed Ruslan’s directions except for my Apache
configure command, which was:

./configure
“–with-layout=Apache”
“–enable-module=so”
“–activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a”
“–disable-rule=EXPAT”
“–disable-shared=perl”
“–without-execstrip”
“–enable-module=proxy”
“–disable-shared=proxy”
“–enable-module=rewrite”

The output of ‘make test’ follows, and below that is the contents of
t/logs/error_log.

Thanks,
Kevin Murphy

Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn’t seem apropos here. In the RT
installation procedure, my problem occurs prior to what you’re talking
about. Mine isn’t an RT issue, but since Ruslan hangs out here, and
other RT users might run into the same issue, I thought it was worth
posting on this list.

Is your new perl in same location as old one? Did you overwrite old perl
exec binary file with new one? If you run perl -V is it new one?
My perl is allways is /usr/bin/perl so I didn’t test build process with
two different perls in different locations.

I saw next:
[apache_1.3.31]$ ./configure --help | grep -i perl
–with-perl=FILE path to the optional Perl interpreter

and also when you run ‘perl Makefile.PL’ you should use that perl exec
file that you want to build against. So if you have new perl in
‘/usr/local/bin/perl’ then try to add ‘–with-perl=/usr/local/bin/perl’
to apache configure args and run /usr/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL in
mod_perl dir.

			Best regards. Ruslan.

Ah, my new perl is where my old perl was (/usr/local/bin/perl), but the
vendor perl (5.8.0) is still in /usr/bin/perl. I tried your
suggestions, but the result was the same. Then I moved /usr/bin/perl
and created a link there to /usr/local/bin/perl and retried everything
– same bad result.

I looked at where the test code was failing, and I saw that
Apache::Request was being used, so I figured libapreq might need
updating.

I attempted to do that right now, but its tests failed also (it doesn’t
like being tested with old apache or with newer apache with libapreq
compiled in). I forced it to install just to see what would happen,
but mod_perl is still failing its test.

Arghh.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Kevin, better send report to mod_perl users mailing list.

And also google:

For example next article may help:
