Bug 114201 – emerge =dev-lang/perl-5.8.7-r2 success, but other packages fails because of that

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description David Watzke 2005-12-01 15:01:49 UTC]

This version on Perl is broken. When I tryin' to compile gaim w/ perl flag, or 
gnumeric, I see this error: 
*** Warning: Linking the shared library perl_loader.la against the 
*** static 
library /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/x86_64-linux/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a is not

And by the way.. If I emerge -r1 Perl, then 
>>> app-office/gnumeric-1.6.0 merged. :-) 

[Comment 2 Jeremy Drake 2005-12-03 11:38:12 UTC]

I had the same issues with the new version of the perl ebuild, when I was trying
to install mod_perl

It appears that between 5.8.7-r1 and -r2 a patch to solve this very problem was
commented out in the ebuild.  I copied the ebuild to my portage overlay dir,
uncommented the patch, remerged perl, and then everything worked again.

This is the line (line 94 of perl-5.8.7-r2.ebuild):
cd ${S}; epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PN}-picdl.patch

[Comment 3 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2005-12-05 06:46:56 UTC]

that was a mistake on my part mixing a test environment with a commit
environment. if you emerge sync the patch is uncommented again.
