Re^5: SEGVs building Perl 5.10 on Solaris 10?

Indeed, as you say, doesn't really shed any light, however, rather than ...just after opening lib/strict.pm, we can see the fault occurs just after strict.pm has been successfully both read and closed - the last successful call is

close(4)                                        = 0

BTW, it might (if you've not already tried it), be worth using the -f switch to truss - I'm sure I'm telling my granny how to suck eggs - to follow any sub/spawned processes.

A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))

Oh, yes, you're right, it did successfully close strict.pm. Somehow I missed that line. Truss -f, unfortunately, does not add any additional information. (Except, I suppose, that the fact it doesn't add any information implies miniperl is dying before any additional processes have been spawned. "The dog did not bark, Watson.")	[reply]

I've just noticed `LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/netstore/src/perl-5.10.0 ./miniperl -w -Ilib -MExpor +ter -e '<?>' \|\| make minitest LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/netstore/src/perl-5.10.0 ./miniperl -Ilib configpm Segmentation Fault - core dumped make: *** [lib/Config.pod] Error 139` [download] Which means that miniperl has already been compiled and linked and it [miniperl] has successfully been used, the problem arises from building the config (seemingly by running the `configpm` script) ... one wonders if there's any mileage to compiling miniperl with DEBUG on - AFAIR, means defining `-DDEBUG` - and seeing if there's anything more useful generated, by way of debug output, by miniperl before it falls off it's perch...

Funny you should say that, I was just pondering enabling debug and recompiling everything built so far in order to trace it in gdb.	[reply]
