libapreq2 installtion

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

Hello. I've never posted here before. If I'm doing this incorrectly, please forgive me.

Installing: libapreq2 2.07
Hardware:   Poweredge 1850 - Dual 2.8 Mhz procs
OS:         Linux 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp
[download]

All of the t/apreq/cgi.t tests fail with this in the error log:

Can't load '/root/build/libapreq2-2.07/glue/perl/t/cgi-bin/../../blib/
+arch/auto/APR/Request/Request.so' for module APR::Request: libapreq2.
+so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /u
+sr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 230.

+erl/t/cgi-bin/test_cgi.pl line 11.
Premature end of script headers: test_cgi.pl

It appears the module Request.so cannot be found but, in fact, it is there.

This is the same problem for which a Perl Test Failure is listed on CPAN: http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/284929

Can anyone please help with this?

The tests are probably running as another user so they don't have access to that directory (/root/build/...). Try either installing it on another directory so a user like "nobody" has read access to it or change the permissions of your /root directory: `find /root -type d -exec chmod a+rx {} \;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks I tried that. I tried settings permissions on all files and directories from /root down to 777--didn't work. Then I tried setting owner and group to nobody:nobody--still didn't work, same error. Any other ideas?	[reply]

Hmmm... Ok, let's try harder then :) `strace -ffv make test 2>&1 \| egrep -ie "(EPERM\|ENOENT\|EACCES\|open\|stat +)"` [download] This has to give you some hint... :)	[reply] [d/l]

Hm, I would also prefer to compile from source, but if you need it working immediately or want something to compare to, you could try installing the RPM. I did a google search for libapreq2 and Request.so, and found the following links - http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/2121371/com/libapreq2-debuginfo-2.06-2.fc4.i386.rpm.html http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/devel/i386/debug/libapreq2-debuginfo-2.07-0.2.rc4.fc5.i386.html http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/2121347/com/perl-libapreq2-2.06-2.fc4.i386.rpm.html Since that second link is from Fedora Extras, I'm guessing you may not have that installed. To find out, you can type rpm -qa \| grep libapreq2 You could also post the question to the apache mailing list.... -- Burvil	[reply]
