Hi Dan,
thanks for your reply, I really appreciate the help you are continuously giving to people in this list. Well, the problem I'm solving here is probably behind my knowledge - the server I'm talking about was the very first server I installed (in time of MacOS X 10.1) and it's upgraded to the current OS version.
Could you give me an idea how to correct the problems I'm facing with?

In that case I'll guess you might have previously run and configured CPAN when PERL was running elsewhere on your system (or you just configured it wrong.)

I would either build this module manually, being careful that the the build configuration points to the right locations for the libraries and include files, or nuke your CPAN configuration and re-initalize it. (See CPAN docs for more.)

Hi,
I do use CPAN for installing Unix::Syslog. But it refuses to work :(
cc1: warning: changing search order for system directory "/usr/local/include"
cc1: warning: as it has already been specified as a non-system directory

This is a warning message, and non-fatal, except that this isn't a directory you'd expect to be using if you're building against the Apple distributed PERL.

Running Mkbootstrap for Unix::Syslog ()
chmod 644 Syslog.bs
rm -f blib/arch/auto/Unix/Syslog/Syslog.bundle
LD_RUN_PATH="" MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -L/usr/local/lib Syslog.o -o blib/arch/auto/Unix/Syslog/Syslog.bundle -lc

Here, again, you're linking against the wrong libraries.

Not surprisingly it will next find undefined symbols b/c the files it expects there are not there...

ld: -undefined: unknown argument: dynamic_lookup
make: *** [blib/arch/auto/Unix/Syslog/Syslog.bundle] Error 1
/usr/bin/make -- NOT OK
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

...and it fails.


This tells me that you have things defined very wrongly for CPAN and the build process in general.

Generally speaking when people build their own localized software packages they should be located in /usr/local, which would be true if you were building your own PERL, or extending it. But you're not, so you have to make sure you're referencing the right locations, which may mean you need to disregard instructions that expect you're building a localized package in 'local-land'. But this is true for many things, not just PERL.
