Net::SSLeay 1.32 Perl Module Bad Compile - Work around

[skelly]

I noticed after my upgrade to WHM 11 that a couple of Perl modules were stubbornly refusing to compile/install. One of the problems was the compilation of Net::SSLeay 1.32 failing to compile because of a bad path in the make command.

Below is the original problem output:

Notice the -Iusr/kerberos/include flag on the compile line? It's missing a slash (should be -I/usr/kerberos/include).

I worked around this by temporarily creating symlinks to the kerberos includes from an include directory that was being correctly specified. I used "/usr/local/include" thusly:

And then re performed "/usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkperlmodules" which then succeeded.

I then removed the temporary symlinks.

Maybe someone who knows more about how these updates work can fathom how to fix the distro package.

Hope that helps someone else - I could find no specific thread to post too.

Found the root of the problem, and reported it to the module maintainer.

In the mean time, we added a holdback to 1.30 which doesn't have the problem.

To install 1.30

rm /home/.cpcpan/modules.version /home/.cpcpan/modules.versions
/scripts/perlinstaller --force Net::SSLeay
