Description Gregg Casillo 2004-01-23 12:31:46 UTC

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:

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.
