in thread Inline::C produces compilation errors

I am running v5.8.6 and it comes straight off the FC4 CDs. I did not compile with this compiler so I am going to have to learn that skill.
 
I guess using sledgehammers in perl does not work huh? (dang)
 
Another weekend of fun with perl. Thanks for the tip. I should have thought of it.

    I did not compile with this compiler...

    I don't know if that's the problem - it's just something that strikes me as a possible cause of the errors you're getting.

    If, when building Inline, make test ran without reporting any failures, then I would venture to suggest it's *not* the problem. If you didn't actualy build Inline yourself from source (eg you installed an rpm), try building Inline from source and see what make test produces.

    Cheers,

      I followed you suggestion downloading and installing perl 5.8.8. from source. I then tried to install Inline-0.44 and got the list of error messages shown below.
       
      I checked a few of the ".so" files it says it "Had problems bootstrapping Inline module" and they were there. Example:
      t/01syntax.....Uncaught exception from user code:
        Had problems bootstrapping Inline module '_01syntax_t_6b3a'

      [download]
      When I go to the directory and do a listing it is there:
      [root@FC4-Casinfo Inline-0.44]# ls -l /CASINFO/packages/Inline-0.44/C/
+_Inline_test/lib/auto/_01syntax_t_6b3a/_01syntax_t_6b3a.so

      There is precious little useful in google regarding this except for cpan tester results
       
      Any ideas??

        It's that one undefined symbol pthread_getspecific that's causing the problem. It's not apparent to me just why that problem arises. Nor do I know what needs to be done to fix it.

        Can you build any extensions (modules containing XS code) at all ? Can you, eg, successfully build Math::FFT from source ?

        What does perl -V output ?

        Cheers,
        Rob
