mod_perl and Apache 2.2.11

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

Hi,

I am having a problem installing mod_perl 2.0.4 on a 64-bit SLES 10 Linux.

I have compiled a Perl 5.10.0 and an Apache 2.2.11 from Source and when I try to build mod_perl I get the following error:

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.1.2/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/b
+in/ld: /opt/perl510/lib/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl
+.a(gv.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be

/opt/perl510/lib/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.a: coul
+d not read symbols: Bad value

Can someone help me here?
Many thanks!

Why not `recompile with -fPIC`?	[reply] [d/l]

Which one - Perl or mod_perl? And how - is there a configure-switch to do this (I compiled Perl pretty much with default options and it would use -fPIC anyway)?	[reply]

`$ ./configure --help` [download] Read the section on environment variables. CFLAGS looks like it could be used to set compiler flags. -- Rohan	[reply] [d/l]
