MM 5.09 patch with 5.002b1: problems on Linux

Nov 23, 1995, 9:58 PM

Post #1 of 4 (307 views)

I applied patch-perl5.002beta1-MM5.09.gz on my Linux box.

Perl coredumps on all the following tests (with not even so much
as a symptomatic error message):

lib/anydbm
lib/db-btree
lib/db-hash
lib/db-recno
lib/gdbm
lib/odbm
lib/posix

The only commonality I can see is that they are all dynamically loaded.
(funnily enough, sdbm passes all tests.)

Perl passes all tests if I back out the patch and use MM 5.06 instead.

I haven't had the time to look further than that, but I thought
I should let you know, in case some one else is seeing the same.

ld seems to have been taken for granted, which you can't do on
Linux. The fix was to go back to the earlier way of doing it.

I have tried a similar fix that preserves ld from $Config{ld}, but my
testing on linux now fails on sdbm file. Are you sure it works for you?

Is it my make (3.74)?

You seem to be missing '-shared' for gcc. (I'm guessing you're building
statically from the -fpic).

I have the same make. And yes, I did double check that all the tests
run fine.
