Question

undefined symbol: Perl_Istack_sp_ptr when installing bugzilla

Asked by: grblades

I have just built a new centos 5.3 (32bit) system and copies across a mysql database and bugzilla web directory (itself only a couple of weeks old) onto this new box.
Mysql is up aand working fine and all the required perl modules have been installed however when performing the last step I am getting an error compiling the templates :-

Precompiling templates.../usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: lib/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Template/Stash/XS/XS.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Istack_sp_ptr

Any ideas?

comment the line that has an error, its ok if your not using multi-threading.

 

by: grbladesPosted on 2009-09-04 at 10:54:33ID: 25261882

No its a general perl issue as its affecting other programs aswell.
I need to know how to fi it.

 

by: Adam314Posted on 2009-09-04 at 14:34:11ID: 25263506

Do you have Template::Stash installed already?
    If not, try installing with cpan.
    If so, is it the latest?  If not, try upgrading with cpan.

To install with cpan, as root, run:
    cpan install Template::Stash

First time running cpan you will be asked a bunch of questions.  Take the default unless you know otherwise.

Yes I am pretty sure I tried a cpan install as one of the first things I did. Let me double check on Monday and I will also post a list of all the modules installed incase it might be an incompatability between two of them.

One idea I did find from googling was this error can occur if perl is upgraded and some modules from a previous version are still being used.
I did do a centos update immediatly after installing whch might have upgraded perl but there would only have been the basic modules installed.
I assume if this is the problem if I do a full update to the latest perl module versions via cpan this might fix the problem.

 

by: Adam314Posted on 2009-09-05 at 16:20:21ID: 25268187

Yes, if you've updated the perl binary, you may have to update your perl modules.  You can use cpan to do this.

 

by: grbladesPosted on 2009-09-07 at 08:17:37ID: 25275604

I sorted out the problem. It turns out that the bugzilla script which downloads and installs missing modules saves the code within its own directory structure and not within the perl lib itself.
Because I had copied the directory structure off another server it has a later perl version and hence the modules were compiled for a future version. Deleting the files and reinstalling fixed the problem.
