[Module-build-general] Problem building Module::Build - Problem with lib/XSTest.so and lib/XSTest.o

[Brett K. <Br...@tc...>]

I don't write Perl but I'm installing modules for an application (RT) on a
Redhat9 server which has dependencies on a myriad of Perl modules.  I've
loaded a ton of modules, but the last two are both dependant on
Module::Build, and I can't get that to load.  I've tried to install from
doing a "% perl MCPAN -e 'install Module::Build'" and from actually
downloading it, un-tarring it, creating the script, making, and testing it.
Both ways I get the same errors:

t/xs............ok 6/11Can't exec "gcc'": No such file or directory at
/home/drives/s/Brett/Downloads/Module-Build-0.20/blib/lib/Module/Build/Base.
pm line 1917, <File0000> line 14.

' (t/xs.t at line 50)
# Expected: ''
# t/xs.t line 50 is: ok $@, '';

Of my 50 or so module dependencies, this is the last one I have to install,
and then I can get on to configuring the application.  Has anyone received
these errors when doing their make test?  Is there a workaround?

That single quote in "gcc'" looks suspicious.  Does "perl -V:cc" or
"perl -V:ld" show anything weird?

I have recently installed version 0.20 of Module::Build on Red Hat 9
without any problems.  Well, no problems after I set LANG=C.

Hi Brett,

This is a bug in Red Hat 9.  See the page

  https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=3D3687

where it has been previously reported.  Thanks.
