Description Alexander Jenisch 2003-12-18 07:24:51 UTC

xchat-2.0.6-r1 has shows a lot of warnings while compiling, especially while compiling plugins.

xhcat cannot load the perl.so properly, but can load tcl and python plugins.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. "X-Chat" menu: Load Plugin or Script...
2. try to load any perl script
3. "Window" menu: Plugins or Scripts
4. try to load "/usr/lib/xchat/plugins/perl.so

Actual Results:  
this happens, if i try to load a perl plugin in xchat (manually):

Unknown file type /home/nt/.xchat2/away.pl. Maybe you need to install the Perl 
or Python plugin?
 Usage: LOAD <file>, loads a plugin or script

and this happens, if i try to load the perl plugin (manually):

/usr/lib/xchat/plugins/perl.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Iperl_destruct_level_ptr

Expected Results:  
load it successfully?

Comment 1 Alexander Jenisch 2004-02-02 06:01:04 UTC

has been resolved with the last perl version. seems i just needed to unmerge and emerge perl again.
