in thread MakeMaker failing to locate libs for shared objects

Unfortunately that didn't help.

How? If -lssl -lcrypto were being removed from the LIBS argument, adding :nosearch would ensure that they aren't removed. I just tested this

Re^4: MakeMaker failing to locate libs for shared objects

    Weird one huh?

    This isn't a case of my misusing MakeMaker, I can only assume something is apparently borked with my perl build.

    Even with :nosearch in my LIBS var, linking is still missing some options:

    /opt/csw/gcc4/bin/gcc -c -D_REENTRANT -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/opt/bw/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV -march=pentium4 -msse -msse2 -mtune=opteron -I/opt/bw/include -DVERSION=\"0.04\" -DXS_VERSION=\"0.04\" -fPIC "-I/opt/bw/lib/perl/5.12.1/distro/i386/CORE" Random.c

    Running Mkbootstrap for Crypt::OpenSSL::Random ()
    chmod 644 Random.bs
    rm -f blib/arch/auto/Crypt/OpenSSL/Random/Random.so


    gcc -G -L/opt/bw/lib/i386 -L/opt/bw/lib Random.o -o blib/arch/auto/Crypt/OpenSSL/Random/Random.so \
    \

    ^^^ Here

    When you run the testsuite, we get the relocation error:

    PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /opt/bw/bin/i386/perl "-Iblib/lib" "-Iblib/arch" test.pl
    1..5 Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/Crypt/OpenSSL/Random/Random.so' for module Crypt::OpenSSL::Random:

      See how I showed how I modified libs? And then I use grep to show the change being made? How about you show how you did that?

        Okay,

        If I do this in the same way as you:

        houston@thebe:Crypt-OpenSSL-Random-0.04 > perl Makefile.PL LIBS=":nosearch -lssl -lcrypto"

        Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: ':nosearch'
        Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lssl
        Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lcrypto
        Writing Makefile for Crypt::OpenSSL::Random

        houston@thebe:Crypt-OpenSSL-Random-0.04 > grep lssl Makefile
        # MakeMaker ARGV: (qLIBS=:nosearch -lssl -lcrypto)
        # LIBS => [q-lssl -lcrypto]
        cd $(DISTVNAME) && $(ABSPERLRUN) Makefile.PL "LIBS=:nosearch -lssl -lcrypto"
        $(PERLRUN) Makefile.PL "LIBS=:nosearch -lssl -lcrypto"
        LIBS=':nosearch -lssl -lcrypto'

        houston@thebe:Crypt-OpenSSL-Random-0.04 > gmake

        ...
        gcc -G -R/opt/bw/lib/i386 -L/opt/bw/lib/i386 -L/opt/bw/lib Random.o -o blib/arch/auto/Crypt/OpenSSL/Random/Random.so
        \
        \

        ...

        And during install:

        PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /opt/bw/bin/i386/perl "-Iblib/lib" "-Iblib/arch" test.pl
        1..5
        Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/Crypt/OpenSSL/Random/Random.so' for module Crypt::OpenSSL::Random: ld.so.1: perl: fatal: relocation error: file blib/arch/auto/Crypt/OpenSSL/Random/Random.so: symbol RAND_bytes: referenced symbol not found at /opt/bw/lib/perl/5.12.1/distro/i386/DynaLoader.pm line 200.

        This had worked previously with the exact same 'build recipe' however we have changed the prefix.

        Is there any binary that the build process of perl itself depends on during 'make install' that I might have missed?

        Thanks for the help so far mate!
