Bug 56281 – Compile fails on emerge of mod_perl 1.27-r4

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Ryan Roland 2004-07-06 15:06:58 UTC]

When I try to emerge mod_perl-1.27-r4 I get a fatal error during compile.

System: x86 i686 PII 250MHz (Dell Optiplex GX1)
GCC v3.3.3-r6

I have tried both v5.8.4 and v5.8.2 as my version of perl.

I have also tried both linux-2.4.26-hardened-r1 and linux-2.4.25_pre7-gss-r7 as my kernels.

Error:

apache version ?
do you use mod_ssl ?
also do you use ipv6 ?

[Comment 2 Ryan Roland 2004-07-07 06:54:10 UTC]

Apache v.1.3.31-r2

I don't have mod_ssl installed (though I will be trying to later) but I do currently have ssl in my USE variable.

Yes, I do use ipv6, though this is not a requirement in our environment.

[Comment 3 Ryan Roland 2004-07-07 14:07:24 UTC]

I removed "ipv6" from my USE variable and tried to re-emerge mod_perl - 

This time it successfully compiled.

Does mod_perl 1.27 on apache 1.3.31 not support ipv6?

I find similar problem on FreeBSD/NetBSD lists

Same problem on one of the hosts I help administering (rebuild was needed after security update of perl).
As I see it, USE=ipv6 only adds some build fix. Since building it works fine without the patch, just removing that code should fix this issue, doesn't it?

[Comment 6 John Altstadt 2004-12-23 07:46:27 UTC]

There is no string ipv6 in any of /etc/make.* /etc/make.profile/* as per the command:
  grep ipv6 /etc/make.* /etc/make.profile/*
but I cannot get mod_perl to build unless I explicitly remove ipv6 on the command line:
  USE="-ipv6" emerge -v mod_perl

I noticed when building apache2 that it insists on using ipv6, even though it isn't in the USE variables where I could have set it. Where is ipv6 being set?

[Comment 7 John Altstadt 2004-12-23 08:08:10 UTC]

Further notes:

emerge info clearly shows USE=ipv6 even though I have not set this anywhere.

Bug #75277 shows other problems caused by flags that have been added via an emerge sync. Among the added flags is ipv6.
