SID-02414: Error Running Configure

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	6.1.0	Perl version:	5.28.1
Category:	CategoryInstallation	Server OS:	centos 7.6, kernel 3.10.0	Last update:	6 years ago

Hi - I am installing the latest twiki verison fresh on a Centos 7 server - I am getting this error though when running bin/configure:

Failed to load the perl module File::Temp. The module was found at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.28.1/File/Temp.pm

Please ensure that:

1. File::Temp is installed,
2. that the module is available on the @INC path,
3. that the webserver user (apache) has permission to read the File/Temp.pm file.

The detailed error seen was: Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.28.1/x86_64-linux/auto/Fcntl/Fcntl.so' for module Fcntl: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.28.1/x86_64-linux/auto/Fcntl/Fcntl.so: undefined symbol: PL_stack_sp at /usr/share/perl5/XSLoader.pm line 68. at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.28.1/x86_64-linux/Fcntl.pm line 66. Compilation failed in require at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.28.1/File/Temp.pm line 15. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.28.1/File/Temp.pm line 15. Compilation failed in require at (eval 16) line 2. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 16) line 2.

I have File::Temp installed though:

# cpan -l | grep -i temp Locale::Maketext::Extract::Plugin::TextTemplate 1.00 File::Temp 0.2309 File::Temp 4.40 CGI::File::Temp 4.13 File::Temp 0.2304

Can anyone help and point me in the right direction?

Discussion and Answer

It looks like something is wrong with the File::Temp and dependencies. To debug try this in shell as root and apache:

perl -e 'use File::Temp; print "$File::Temp::VERSION\n"'

I also recommend to google for undefined symbol: PL_stack_sp

Problem is fixed now - in the bin/LocalLib.cfg there was this section:

------------++ Path to TWiki's CPAN base. # OPTIONAL: # TWiki ships with some CPAN modules, such as File::Temp. They load after # the default Perl libs. If you want to load them before the system libs, # uncomment the following line.

#$CPANBASE = "$twikiLibPath/CPAN/lib/";

The bottom line was uncommented - when I commented it out it all started working.

I am glad it's fixed.
