Description Ryan Steinmetz 2010-02-02 17:20:01 UTC 
When launching net/freeradius2 with perl support, one gets the following error:

Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/mach/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.so' for module Data::Dumper: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/mach/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.so: Undefined symbol "Perl_sv_cmp" at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/mach/XSLoader.pm line 70.
 at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/mach/Data/Dumper.pm line 36
Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/etc/raddb/example.pl line 30.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/etc/raddb/example.pl line 30.
rlm_perl: perl_parse failed: /usr/local/etc/raddb/example.pl not found or has syntax errors.  
/usr/local/etc/raddb/modules/perl[7]: Instantiation failed for module "perl"

Information/workarounds/discussion regarding this issue can be located all over the net.

Fix: Apply the attached patch to activate the new code in FR 2.1.8 to support the newer libtool API as mentioned in http://www.mail-archive.com/freeradius-users@lists.freeradius.org/msg60579.html.  This will only take place whenever WITH_PERL is defined.

Potential issues:
-Alan DeKok says the new code is untested, however, it does appear to eliminate the need for the LD_PRELOAD workaround that has been floating around, as mentioned in http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=64557.
-This is a temporary workaround that will most likely need to be removed once 2.2.x of FR has been released and someone has confirmed that this has been resolved without the extra define.


Patch attached with submission follows:
How-To-Repeat: Build and install net/freeradius2, with perl support and attempt to launch.  (Ensuring FR has the perl module instantiated/used in some way)

I'll take it.
Comment 4 Ryan Steinmetz 2010-02-12 01:52:06 UTC 
This appears to be a duplicate of ports/138445, ports/143493, ports/143656.  It is (in my opinion) the cleanest option.

As there are currently 4 PRs open to fix the same problem, one going back to September, I'd recommend closing the rest and committing the fix in this one.  Even if someone updates the port without removing this particular workaround, the port should still work fine.

I would be interested in taking over maintainership of this port if the current maintainer doesn't have enough free time available.  Eitherway, this has been a problem for around 5 months and should be resolved.
