problem with Perl on FreeBSD - Undefined symbol "PL_sv_undef"

[Petr Holub]

Hi,

I'm trying to get Perl running with slapd-perl backend of OpenLDAP
server. I've tried various combinations of Perl 5.8 and 5.10 and
OpenLDAP 2.3 and 2.4 with two types of failures:
- OpenLDAP 2.4 + Perl 5.8/5.10: segfault in loading perl backend
  (can send more details if needed)
- OpenLDAP 2.3 + Perl 5.8/5.10:

# slaptest
Error Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/mach/auto/Fcntl/Fcntl.so' for module Fcntl:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/mach/auto/Fcntl/Fcntl.so: Undefined symbol "PL_sv_undef" at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/mach/XSLoader.pm line 70.

Compilation failed in require at (eval 2) line 1.

It looks like there is something broken in the installation of
embedding part of Perl, which by itself works fine. I've read
that it might be due to conflicting patchlevel.h (and there is
one in /usr/local/include/python2.5/patchlevel.h), but even after
renaming it and rebuilding Perl from port, I'm still getting this
error. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Petr
