Re: Embedded Perl Problem

Dear Thomas, Dave:
 After I install net-snmp-5.4-pre3, the result of detection of perl problem
is as below list:

   checking for Perl cc... xscale_be-gcc
   checking whether xscale_be-gcc is a GNU C compiler... yes
   checking for Perl CFLAGS...  -fno-strict-aliasing
-I/usr/lib/perl/5.6.1/CORE
   checking for Perl LDFLAGS... -rdynamic
/usr/lib/perl/5.6.1/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a -L/usr/lib/perl/5.6
   .1/CORE -lperl -lnsl -ldl -lm -lc -lcrypt -lutil
   checking for eval_pv... no
   checking for perl_eval_pv... no
   checking for Perl_eval_pv... no
   checking for potential embedded Perl support... disabled
   checking if we can install the Perl modules... yes -- not embeddable
   checking if we should install the python bindings... no
   checking for ANSI C header files... (cached) yes
   checking for dirent.h that defines DIR... yes
   checking for library containing opendir... none required
   checking for sys/wait.h that is POSIX.1 compatible... yes
   checking stdarg.h usability... yes
   checking stdarg.h presence... yes
   checking for stdarg.h... yes

It is obviously the perl_eval_pv function and eval_pv fuction is not existed
in my xscale file system
my probelm is how to fix it? When i execute "perl -v", the system show the
perl edition is perl -5-6-1;
so it seems i need to install another package to solve this, can you give me
any advice and suggestion,
thanks once again.

Best Regards,
Clement Hsu

Can you please retry with 5.4.pre3 and let us know what it tells you
wrt. embedded perl? It should have a much better perl [problem]
detection at configure time and will hopefully help you to nail down the
problem.

Why?
This message is there to *tell* you that embedded perl support isn't
available for the setup that has been detected.   It's not simply
there as a mean trick to deliberately break this for you.  By deleting
the error message, you're not touching the underlying problem -
instead you're just making things fail silently.

Exactly as the error message said originally!

Thomas has suggested that you try with the 5.4 pre-release code.
If this doesn't work either, then you need to look at *why* embedded
perl support isn't being detected.   Try looking through the
config.log file for anything that refers to perl.   And in particular,
"perl_eval" or "Perl_eval" (or simply "eval_pl")

But there's no point in just deleting an error message and hoping that
things will work.
You've *got* to identify and fix the underlying cause.
