Bug 59313 – perl-5.8.4-r1 fails to build (undefined symbol: Perl_form)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX

[Description Robert Muchacki (RETIRED) 2004-08-03 15:19:35 UTC]

After emerge -U world, I get this during perl compilation:

	Everything is up to date. Type 'make test' to run test suite.
if [ -n "" ]; \
then \
	cd utils; make compile; \
	cd ../x2p; make compile; \
	cd ../pod; make compile; \
else :; \
fi

What does /hda4/tmp look like? Space, mount permissions, etc.

It's a ReiserFS partition. Any other info you need?

I am so embarrassed - I got this bug confused with an identical one and it 
slipped completely off the radar. I'm going to wager that at 10 months you've 
either already hired a goon squad to hunt me down, or gotten past this point. 
If somehow you haven't...my first candidate would be something isn't right in 
the libperl install (and hence the symbol problem); my second candidate would 
be in the specifics of how (what options were used) hda4 was mounted.
