Summary: Shared Object Issues when Loading PL/Perl https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=162198 wtogami@xxxxxxxxxx changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |fedora-perl-devel- | |list@xxxxxxxxxx ------- Additional Comments From wtogami@xxxxxxxxxx 2005-06-30 22:10 EST ------- Our modern distributions contain explicit symlinks for compatibility with known binary compatible versions of perl, so stuff built with that kind of out-of-the-way RPATH are not likely to break unless the symlinks are explicitly removed in a later version of the perl package. I don't know why it was done this way originally. Maybe to allow multiple versions of perl to be installed simultaneously and avoid links from using the wrong libperl.so? If this is the case, then it probably made sense during the transitions from earlier perl major versions. RPATH to the full path of the libperl.so that was available during build time seems to be what everything else that links against libperl.so does? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
