[Comment 2 Kent Fredric (IRC: kent\n) (RETIRED) 2011-08-18 12:18:36 UTC]

The error as far as I can make out appears to be caused by calling the wrong xsubpp method. 

Vim also appears to suffer this problem. 

# cd /tmp/portage/app-editors-vim-7.3.266/work/vim73/src  

using the xsubpp shipped in Perl:

# /usr/bin/perl /usr/lib64/perl5/5.14.1/ExtUtils/xsubpp -prototypes -typemap /usr/lib64/perl5/5.14.1/ExtUtils/typemap if_perl.xs >> auto/if_perl.c
Undefined subroutine &ExtUtils::ParseXS::errors called at /usr/lib64/perl5/5.14.1/ExtUtils/xsubpp line 41.

using the xsubpp shiped in perl-core/ExtUtils-ParseXS

# /usr/bin/perl /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.14.1/ExtUtils/xsubpp -prototypes -typemap /usr/lib64/perl5/5.14.1/ExtUtils/typemap if_perl.xs >> auto/if_perl.c
#

the former of course fails because the latter is installed and thus,  the xsubpp from perl uses the modules shipped with ParseXS instead.

Hi,

For now, the only way I found to solve this :

# mv /usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.4/ExtUtils/xsubpp /usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.4/ExtUtils/xsubpp.bad
# ln -s /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.4/ExtUtils/xsubpp /usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.4/ExtUtils/xsubpp

# emerge dev-db/postgresql-server
...
==> It works !

and after that put things back :

# mv /usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.4/ExtUtils/xsubpp.bad /usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.4/ExtUtils/xsubpp

This bug is not PostgreSQL ebuild problem and should be solved by perl-core/ExtUtils-ParseXS or dev-lang/perl mainteners...

Well, its somewhat a bit of both. Its an error in the first place that the postgresql build calls the wrong xsubpp , see bug #378107 , where this problem occurs due to misuse of Config.pm variables. Ideally, there should not be a "wrong" xsubpp anywhere, but if "/usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.4/ExtUtils/xsubpp" simply didn't exist many things ( possibly this one included ) would simply not work at all, because it would still try to explicitly call the wrong ( and now non-existant) path.

ExtUtils::ParseXS patch for configure path discovery

Give the attached patch a go. It should be the proper means of discovering the path to xsubpp.

'emerge PDL' fails for me with similar error, even with ExtUtils-ParseXS-3.40.0:

Implements proper path detection

This patch from upstream, written by David E. Wheeler, should do the trick for a proper path detection.
