Eventually we figured out that the user had -L/usr/lib while linking and he happened to have a different build's libperl.so and libperl.a there. And it was getting linked instead of the real libperl. Of course moving those libs temporary to a different location solved the problem as well (couldn't remove -L/usr/lib as it was needed for other libs to be found). But if ExtUtils::Embed gave the right full path to libperl.a it won't be a problem. So should ExtUtils::Embed be fixed to give a full path to libperl.a when perl is statically built? __________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH ------> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:stas@stason.org http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.comThread Previous
