I just emerged apache-2.0.48-r3 and mod_perl-1.99.11. I can start apache2 just fine and from another machine do a "HEAD <ip address>" and get a good response. However, after emerge mod_perl-1.99.11 and adding "-D PERL" to APACHE2_OPTS in /etc/conf.d/apache2, I get the following error: * Apache2 has detected a syntax error in your configuration files: Syntax error on line 3 of /usr/lib/apache2/conf/modules.d/75_mod_perl.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/extramodules/mod_perl.so into server: /usr/lib/libperl.so.1: undefined symbol: __builtin_va_start I should note that I am running perl-5.8.3. Not sure what difference that makes. All of these are fresh installs. Nothing legacy about these packages. I'll throw in my emerge info for reference: Portage 2.0.50_pre19 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.3_pre20040117-r0, 2.4.22-gentoo-r4) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.22-gentoo-r4 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.12 distcc 2.12.1 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.7.8 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo http://gentoo.seren.com/gentoo http://gentoo.noved.org/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="acpi avi berkdb cdr crypt dvb encode gdbm gif gstreamer jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx mpeg mysql ncurses nls oggvorbis pam perl png python quicktime readline samba sdl ssl tcpd tiff unicode usb x86 xml2 zlib" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge mod_perl after apache2. 2. Add "-D PERL" to APACHE2_OPTS in /etc/conf.d/apache2. 3. Start apache2 with /etc/init.d/apache2 start. Actual Results: The error mentioned above in details section. Expected Results: Apache2 started with mod_perl enabled in server.
Not sure what happened, but I've got this combination working on several machines now including the one that I was having problems with. Perhaps a CFLAGS issue or distcc/ccache goof up on my machine. Not sure what. Oh well.
