[Slashcode-general] make gives error: /usr/libexec/ld.so: Undefined symbol "_ap_null_cleanup" in perl

[Kenneth C. C. <kc...@co...>]

I am having the same problem a John J. Reilly.  The exact same problem:

I untarred slash-2.2.3.tar into /usr/local/slash-2.2.3.
I cd=92d into /usr/local/slash-2.2.3, and ran make.
The results are:

I=92ve gone through the INSTALL document many times, and I have done
_everything_ including the build of Apache.

I don't know the exact problem, but it appears to be that your mod_perl i=
s
somehow not being seen, or is not recent enough, etc.

Now, the only thing I can think of is that OpenBSD comes w/ Apache.  I ha=
ve
installed another Apache, but maybe the make is seeing the first one?

John, have you solved the problem?  I started trying to install Slash 2.2=
.1,
and am still working on it,
two releases later.  I can=92t find _any_ other reference to this problem=
 on
the net at all.  Does anybody
know how to help me?

I have tracked the problem down to a particular area in the blob of files
that I untarred out of the
Slash-2.2.3 tarball.  The error occurs when make delves into the in
Slash/Apache.  (Since I installed
Tarball files into /usr/local/slash-2.2.3, the full path is
/usr/local/slash-2.2.3/Slash/Apache).

If you run =93perl test.pl=94 in this directory, the error occurs.  (I fi=
gured
out that you can run test.pl
in the various subdirectories).

# cat test.pl
# Before `make install' is performed this script should be runnable with
# `make test'. After `make install' it should work as `perl test.pl'

exit 0;

Unfortunately, I do not know enough about perl or slash, and am not sure =
how
to find out if this
Is a tarball file problem, or something like a perl library problem.

Test.pl=92s results are:

# perl test.pl
1..1
/usr/libexec/ld.so: Undefined symbol "_ap_null_cleanup" in
perl:/usr/local/libdata/per
l5/site_perl/i386-openbsd/auto/Slash/Apache/Apache.so

Apache.so seems to be the problem, but I don=92t know where it came from =
or
how to get a new one.

The only Apache.so files on my system are:

# find / -name Apache.so
/usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl/i386-openbsd/auto/Slash/Apache/Apache.=
so
/usr/local/slash-2.2.1/Slash/blib/arch/auto/Slash/Apache/Apache.so

There is an older version of slash on my system=85  but, both the Apache.=
so
files are  identical.

Shrug=85 Don=92t know where to go from here=85
