[Arsperl-users] referenced symbol not found errors (ucnv_compareNames_3_2)

[Andrew H. <an...@hi...>]

Hello Everyone:

I'm attempting to compile ARSPerl-1.90 on Solaris 10, with perl 5.8..8 and 
gcc 3.4.3

compile seems to go fine, but make test (and all other attempts to use the 
module) result in the following error:

Can't load 
'/prod/remedy/STAGE/PERL_UPGRADE/ARSperl-1.90/blib/arch/auto/ARS/ARS.so' for 
module ARS: ld.so.1: perl: fatal: relocation error: file 
/prod/remedy/STAGE/PERL_UPGRADE/ARSperl-1.90/blib/arch/auto/ARS/ARS.so: 
symbol ucnv_compareNames_3_2: referenced symbol not found at 
/prod/remedy/lib/perl5/5.8.8/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 230.

yeah, I've got some custom paths in there, but I'm fairly certain that's not 
the issue.
I noted Thilo's earlier post with the suggestion of editing the 
supportrev_generated.h & .c files. I tried this but it did not seem to make 
a difference.

ALSO ... and this is a BIG issue ... 'make realclean' and 'make clean' will 
REMOVE the libar.a file from your api directory (OUTSIDE THE BUILD 
DIRECTORY). It's fortunate I made a backup of my api directory prior ;-)

In any case ... is there anything maybe in a nightly build or CVS out there 
that would address this issue? I'm afraid it goes a bit deeper than my 
knowledge can take me. I've got quite a bit of infrastructure built on 
ARSPerl ... I really need this to compile against the ARS7 api in this 
environment.

Any suggestions?

thanks,
