From: "Doran L. Barton" <doran [...] bluehost.com>
Hello, I'm running into a problem building NetSNMP-default_store for Perl 5.16.3 (x86_64). The error occurs during the 'make test' phase: PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /opt/rh/perl516/root/usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/lib" "-Iblib/arch" test.pl 1..90 Can't load 'blib/arch/auto/NetSNMP/default_store/default_store.so' for module NetSNMP::default_store: blib/arch/auto/NetSNMP/default_store/default_store.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Imarkstack_ptr_ptr at /opt/rh/perl516/root/usr/lib64/perl5/DynaLoader.pm line 190. at test.pl line 97. I don't know if this is a problem with my configuration (I haven't had any problems with any other XS modules) or with this module. Please advise. -- Doran L.

Thanks to dsteinbrunner and rafi in #perl-help for putting me on the correct track to solving this problem. The problem is that NetSNMP::default_store depends on the net-snmp-libs package, which depends on Perl. In an RPM environment, such as I am building in, that means net-snmp-libs depends on the distribution-installed Perl. I was building this NetSNMP::default_store RPM against a newer version of Perl and therein lies the cause of the symbol conflict. The solution: Build a separate net-snmp-libs package which is linked to the different/newer version of Perl and make NetSNMP::default_store depend on it instead. This is all being done with Red Hat Software Collections utilities. -- Doran L.
