Re: [SLE] Bugzilla on 6.4--is it possible?

I follow up my own post. I followed Lincoln's advise and built perl-5.6.0 and tried to install GD-1.3.2 on it. No go, the same error. OK, I then downloaded the source of libgd-1.8.3 (actually, I had to download libgd-1.8.2.tar.gz, libgd-1.8.3.tar.gz does not contain all files for some reason), applied patch from GD-1.3.2 to support dynamic linking, compiled it and GD was fixed. I repeated then GD installation on perl-5.005, it worked too with my home-compiled libgd. So gdlib rpm in SuSE 7.0/6.4 is unusable from perl, that's my conclusion. Any other opinions/experience? -Kastus On Wed, Jan 10, 2001 at 01:29:04AM -0800, kastus@tsoft.com wrote:

Greetings,

I tried to install Bugzilla on 6.4 system and got completely confused.

Bugzilla requires a couple of perl modules, namely GD and Chart::Base. GD is required to be version 1.3 and use libgd version 1.8.3. Chart requires GD version higher than 1.2.

By default, on 6.4 system GD is 1.2 and libgd is 1.7.3.

OK, I grabbed gd and gdlib rpms for 7.0 system and installed them. My perl is the latest one available from SuSE (perl-5.005_03-182)

Unfortunately, when I do make test in Chart, I get:

.Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i586-linux/auto/GD/GD.so' for module GD: /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i586-linux/auto/GD/GD.so: undefined symbol: gdImageJpegPtr at /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i586-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 169.

Perl was built incorrectly, causing some but not all loadable modules to fail. The only solution I know of is to rebuild Perl correctly from scratch and reinstall all previously-installed modules.
