mod_perl2 not building (MacOS X 10.4, 10.5)

[ajmas (Andre-John Mas)]

I am trying to install mod_perl2 on my 10.4 (server) machine and I am getting the following error:

--->  Configuring mod_perl2
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: shell command "cd /opt/ 
local/var/macports/build/ 
_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync 
.macports.org_release_ports_www_mod_perl2/work/mod_perl-2.0.3 &&  /opt/ 
local/bin/perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/opt/local/apache2/bin/apxs"  
returned error 133
Command output: dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libdl.0.dylib
   Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/perl
   Reason: image not found

Further analysis shows that libdl.0.dylib doesn't exist on MacOS X 10.5 (non-server) either. On the other hand libdl.dylib does exist. A temporary work-around involves making a symbolic link:

  ln -s /usr/lib/libdl.dylib /usr/lib/libdl.0.dylib

Did you try rebuilding macports perl? It looks like it is what is linked to that library that doesn't exist.

It's odd that perl would ever link against a library that doesn't exist; as dluke asked, have you tried rebuilding the perl5.8 port?

I am wondering whether I upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5 when I got that issue.

I can't reproduce the issue any more, having done a clean install, so I would recommend closing the ticket. If someone else comes across the issue we'll just reopen as necessary.

Reinstalling everything in that case is actually the recommended path, unfortunately, due to how many ports are built with OS-version-specific bits.
