Description David Jericho 2002-06-24 01:51:00 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper: 
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) 
 
Description of problem: 
Rebuilding the perl SRPM fails on two DBM tests.  
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
5.6.1-34.99.6 
 
How reproducible: 
Always 
 
Steps to Reproduce: 
1. rpm --rebuild perl-5.6.1-34.99.6.src.rpm 
  
 
Actual Results:  Both the lib/anydbm and lib/ndbm tests fail with the message 
./perl: relocation error: ../lib/auto/NDBM_File/NDBM_File.so: undefined 
symbol: dbm_open 
 
and the RPM build fails to complete. 
 
Additional info: 
 
Setting the  
%define ndbm  
value to 0 instead of 1 leads to a completed build.

Comment 1 Chip Turner 2002-06-24 17:12:08 UTC

make sure you have db3-devel installed when you build perl.  this is likely the
error.  added as a BuildReq and should be in rawhide in a few days.

Comment 2 David Jericho 2002-06-25 00:58:43 UTC

I have checked the RPMs installed on the machine, and db3-devel-3.3.11-6 was  
indeed installed, on both machines I tested the rebuild on. Both machines  
where up to date with the latest errata.  
  
Unfortunately I don't know enough about the perl build process to comment any 
further, but I haven't had other SRPMs that require db3-devel fail on build.
