Subject: Version on Active State
Dear John, I have downloaded the Toolkit module from ASPN which requires your version module. When I went to use Toolkit, I go the following during the dyna loading phase. "dyld: /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.8/bin/perl-dynamic Undefined symbols: /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.8/lib/site_perl/5.8.7/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/version/vxs/vxs.bundle undefined reference to _Perl_ckwarn expected to be defined in a dynamic image" Any suggestions as to a possible solution. Thank you,

Brian - I opened up an RT ticket on your behalf, so I can track this bug. I don't have access to any Mac system, so you are going to have to be my eyes and ears. ;-) It isn't entirely clear to me what you mean by "ASPN toolkit" nor whether this is something you are trying to compile or just using a precompiled binary (that ActiveState has produced). In any case, the "undefined reference" above is a core Perl symbol, which the version.pm code is using via a well-known alias ckWARN, which calls the c-level equivalent of warn(). If this isn't working under your Perl installation, there is something seriously amiss. There are two things you could try: 1) Download the current version.pm code from CPAN and try and build the XS code yourself (assuming that isn't what you are already doing); 2) Download the current version.pm code from CPAN and build the pure Perl library via $ perl Build.pl --perl_only If either of those methods work (and test clean), then you should be able to use whatever it was you were trying to use in the first place. Otherwise, I think this is actually something I cannot fix, since it appears to be some serious breakage with whatever package you downloaded from ASPN/ActiveState. You probably want to open a support request with them in any case, since someone else is likely to fall over this particular problem at some point... John

Dear John, the CPAN version of Version works fine, however if you try to download modules using Active States PPM, that use the Version module, it will overwrite the installed CPAN version, again, with it's own binaries which don't work. From what I can gather there is a little bug on Active State with the way it uses your version module. Brian

I don't understand, though, how that is possible. The version.pm on CPAN is the newest available, so PPM shouldn't install its own copy if you have already installed the CPAN release. I don't have access to an O/S X machine for testing, so I'm not sure how I can debug this. It would appear to be a problem with building a binary for Darwin, but the version.pm tests are clear for that distro: http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8-darwin/darwin-5.8/version-0.7203.txt Is it possible for you to give me a full transcript of you installing the CPAN version.pm release and then using ppm to install some other module where you get the failure? Is there some specific module you are trying to install using PPM that is failing or is it everything? John

Below are the transcripts you requested. In the cpan session I reinstalled version.pm (0.7203) from CPAN. Then I checked whether or not there was a newer version of the module Toolkit.pm, it was reported as true (0.2) instead of 0.0.2. Infact the newest version is 0.0.2. When I upgraded it, the upgrade process insisted in overwriting the cpan installed version.pm, with it's own copy from Active State's Repository, which give's the error message. After installing the newer :) version of Toolkit, I again checked whether or not there was an upgrade, and the process can begin alll over again. I noticed that this happens with a number of other modules that use version.pm. I feel that there are two separate issues involved. 1. that the vxs.bundle available on the Active State Repository has some flaw??? 2. that the version numbers reported on the ppm upgrade request are not consistent. After all this I reinstalled the CPAN copy and all is OK again. Except for the next time I wish to install or upgrade a package from Active State. I hope that is OK.

As another check I upgraded the CPAN.pm module, and after doing this I again checked the ppm upgrade of Toolkit and the process repeated itself. However, using the "r" command in cpan, the version number of the Active State version.pm is reported as 0.7201. ================ cpan[4]> r version Package namespace installed latest in CPAN file version 0.7201 0.7203 JPEACOCK/version-0.7203.tar.gz =============== when I upgraded this to the cpan version of version.pm, all was ok again. So it would appear that Active State's version.pm is not being reported correctly, under cpan, although it appears to do so under ppm. In the Active State's version.pm file and vxs.pm file the actual version number is 0.7201, so it would apppear that ppm is incorrectly reporting the version number of version.pm.

I have to close this ticket, because it appears that the problem is actually ActiveState, which is shipping an old release of version.pm with their package. Plus, I don't have access to an OS/X box to even test this on. Please open a ticket with ActiveState and ask them to use only version.pm newer than 0.74 (which is the release that was included with Perl v5.10.0). Sorry I couldn't be more helpful... John
