mod_perl2 not building (MacOS X 10.4, 10.5)

[andrejohn.mas@…]

I am trying to install mod_perl2 on my 10.4 (server) machine and I am getting the following error:

--->  Configuring mod_perl2
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: shell command "cd /opt/ 
local/var/macports/build/ 
_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync 
.macports.org_release_ports_www_mod_perl2/work/mod_perl-2.0.3 &&  /opt/ 
local/bin/perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/opt/local/apache2/bin/apxs"  
returned error 133
Command output: dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libdl.0.dylib
   Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/perl
   Reason: image not found

Further analysis shows that libdl.0.dylib doesn't exist on MacOS X 10.5 (non-server) either. On the other hand libdl.dylib does exist. A temporary work-around involves making a symbolic link:

  ln -s /usr/lib/libdl.dylib /usr/lib/libdl.0.dylib

Did you try rebuilding macports perl? It looks like it is what is linked to that library that doesn't exist.
