LinkParser No Worky on RH9?!?

Rael has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

So I've done this before gents. I've got the source
compiled, and the parser program runs fine. I try to
build the Perl interface for Lingua::Linkparser and I
get the following:

root@localhost Lingua-LinkParser1.05# make test

PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/lib" "-Iblib/arch" test.pl

about to define new objmake: *** test_dynamic
Segmentation fault

How does a lowly priest get this running? Has anyone
gotten this to work on RH9 w/ perl 5.8?

(/me runs off to find where I've posted this previously... Oh yeah - here!) RH9 caused more than a few problems for me with a number of modules until I edited my /etc/sysconfig/i18n file. Here's mine: `#LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LANG="en_US" SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en" SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"` [download] It looks like some modules (like CPAN!) don't like that UTF-8. If you don't want to monkey with your system-wide locale setting, just type "export LANG=en_US" and then try your install again. I can't say for certain that this will solve your problem, but it's worth a try.	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks bro. I gave that a shot and it's still a no go >:}	[reply]

Did you restart building the module from scratch? The LANG environment variable affects MakeMaker when it builds the Makefile. The Makefile is probably wrong and needs to be rebuilt.	[reply]
