Bug 288972 – Can't find unistd_64.ph in @INC

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Gordon Pettey 2009-10-13 23:42:16 UTC]

A perl script (FCGI handler) fails to run with an error message about not finding unistd_64.ph in @INC (and goes on to list all the standard dirs that are in @INC). The file /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux/asm/unistd.ph checks arch, and then includes unistd_32.ph or unistd_64.ph. It seems that unistd.ph is running a directory above its location, so it fails to find unistd_ARCH.ph. Prepending the filenames with asm/ fixes the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run a Perl script that needs unistd.ph.
2. Get a "failed compilation" error.

Actual Results:  
failed compilation

Expected Results:  
running script

This was fixed in perl-5.8.8-r6 on 08 May 2009.

[Comment 3 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) 2009-10-19 08:02:37 UTC]

If it is still a problem, you should at least mention which perl version (revision) you are using.

[Comment 4 Gordon Pettey 2009-10-19 13:12:44 UTC]

Using r5. Perhaps ~ARCH should be removed from r6?

[Comment 5 Gordon Pettey 2009-10-20 03:25:46 UTC]

Fresh install of perl-5.8.8-r6 after rm -rf /usr/lib64/perl5 results in the same error.

[Comment 6 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) 2009-10-20 07:11:41 UTC]

Works fine here. Please run $(perl-cleaner phall) again and paste
/usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux/asm/unistd.ph

Hm, it works as expected here:
fails with -r5 (same .ph as in #7) and 
works with -r6 (prepends asm/ in require)

I don't know how I can help you. You don't have a broken h2ph somewhere in your PATH?

[Comment 9 David Abbott (RETIRED) 2010-02-22 02:07:21 UTC]

Please try current stable dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r8
