Leopard: Perl [3] : no suitable image found for mod_perl2

Beatnik on 2007-11-08T23:46:42

Leopard doesn't come with mod_perl 2 (but it does come with apache2). The instructions on this page returned me the same error as on the page: 

no suitable image found. Did find:\n\t/usr/libexec/apache2/mod_perl.so: no matching architecture in universal wrapper
I checked which architectures were being built for mod_perl.so with: 
file /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_perl.so
and I got: 
./src/modules/perl/mod_perl.so: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
./src/modules/perl/mod_perl.so (for architecture i386):	Mach-O bundle i386
./src/modules/perl/mod_perl.so (for architecture ppc7400):	Mach-O bundle ppc
It didn't list x86_64. A quick google revealed that people have had similar problems and that adding the actual architecture was the fix. I couldn't find a quick fix for Makefile.PL but updating all Makefiles by adding -arch x86_64 seemed to fix it: 
lenore:mod_perl-2.0.3 root# file ./src/modules/perl/mod_perl.so
./src/modules/perl/mod_perl.so: Mach-O universal binary with 3 architectures
./src/modules/perl/mod_perl.so (for architecture i386):	Mach-O bundle i386
./src/modules/perl/mod_perl.so (for architecture x86_64):	Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64
./src/modules/perl/mod_perl.so (for architecture ppc7400):	Mach-O bundle ppc

httpd -t does not return any errors.

I seem to have similar problems with Apache::Request and DBI:

I'll investigate further, before I get my foot stuck in my mouth again.

We have (had) the same problem in common

I found your thread back and forth with pudge about the problem with dbd::mysql and thought I had finally found the conclusion to my problem, but couldn't find what you did after the point where your server logs were reporting:

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _mysql_server_init
Referenced from: /Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.bundle

Got some advice for a fellow developer? Are you still trying to find an answer on this one?

I bumped into some other people that had similar problems and recompiling mod_perl worked for them. Recompiling mod_perl (and also DBI, mysql and DBD::mysql) didn't work for me. I still had the same errors. Any results on your side so far?

Never did figure it out, in fact I gave up on building RT and went with bugzilla, which uses the mod_cgi that comes bundled with leopard.

MikesMacBook:~ mike$ file /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_cgi.so
/usr/libexec/apache2/mod_cgi.so: Mach-O universal binary with 4 architectures
/usr/libexec/apache2/mod_cgi.so (for architecture ppc7400): Mach-O bundle ppc
/usr/libexec/apache2/mod_cgi.so (for architecture ppc64): Mach-O 64-bit bundle ppc64
/usr/libexec/apache2/mod_cgi.so (for architecture i386): Mach-O bundle i386
/usr/libexec/apache2/mod_cgi.so (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64

Setting the Arch before running Makefile.PL

If you add this to your ~/.profile

export ARCHFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc -arch ppc64'
