Mod_perl rpm and perl 5.8.4

Justin_Clayton · July 6, 2004, 7:02pm

Hello,

I just upgraded to RT 3.2.0 on my Red Hat Linux 7.3 box, and as a result
had to compile a new version of perl (5.8.4) to comply with the new
requirements. I use the apache-1.3.27-2 and mod_perl-1.26-5 rpms, but
the compiled perl (the perl rpm is still installed). Even though I
installed RT with the 5.8.4 perl, and have confirmed that version
appears at the top of all RT-related files I’ve looked at so far, I
still get errors like this in many places:

I’ve looked everywhere: what could possibly be looking at the wrong
perl, and how do I tell it to stop? This is likely also what is causing
my EX_TEMPFAIL errors on all mail sent through the mailgate.

Issue command:
perl -V

and you should see the search path for libraries, mine has this:
Characteristics of this binary (from libperl):
Compile-time options: MULTIPLICITY USE_ITHREADS USE_LARGE_FILES
PERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT
Built under linux
Compiled at Jun 18 2004 12:24:57
@INC:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.4/i686-linux-thread-multi
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.4
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/i686-linux-thread-multi
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl

When you installed the new perl it might have added in the old perl path so
that you did not have to install all the packages again. If you don’t add
the old libraries into the search paths then you will have to reinstall all
the packages and their dependencies.

This might be your problem.

As suspected, my perl does the Right Thing as well, and the 5.6.1 dirs
are not in my @INC. Could it be that both the apache and/or mod_perl
rpms were likely compiled to look at the 5.6.1 rpm? If this is true,
what do I need to recompile?

if your new perl has non standart location then you should provide path
to apache configure script with arg ‘–with-perl’.
