Attempts to build mod_perl with some versions of perl (5.18.4, 5.22.0) on some OSes (Debian/wheezy, FreeBSD 9.2) have generated linker errors like this: /usr/bin/ld: /opt/perl-5.18.4/lib/5.18.4/x86_64-linux/CORE/libperl.a(op.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `PL_sv_yes' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /opt/perl-5.18.4/lib/5.18.4/x86_64-linux/CORE/libperl.a: could not read symbols: Bad value /usr/bin/ld: /usr/perl5.22.0t/lib/5.22.0/amd64-freebsd-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.a(op.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `PL_op_mutex' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/perl5.22.0t/lib/5.22.0/amd64-freebsd-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.a: could not read symbols: Bad value Many other users with various versions of perl and various OSes report successful builds, so there is something specific about a few setups that is not working, but I do not understand what these errors mean. Is anyone here able to shed some light on what sort of thing the problems might be?Thread Next
