Symbol not found: _modperl_handler_anon_add failing apache2 startup

[mauritz.lovgren@…]

I am getting the following error while starting port apache2 after having installed the following using latest MacPorts with updated ports tree:

install perl5 +threads (to make mod_perl2 compile)
install apache2
install mod_perl2

sudo /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start

httpd: Syntax error on line 118 of /opt/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /opt/local/apache2/modules/mod_perl.so into server: dlopen(/opt/local/apache2/modules/mod_perl.so, 10): Symbol not found: _modperl_handler_anon_add\n  Referenced from: /opt/local/apache2/modules/mod_perl.so\n  Expected in: dynamic lookup\n

What might cause this and how can I get around it?

I'm getting this error similarly as well here.

Any news on this issue?

I have the same issue.

mod_perl2 @2.0.4_0 (active) perl5 @5.12.3_1+perl5_12 (active) perl5.12 @5.12.3_3+threads (active)

perl5 @5.12.3_1+perl5_12 (active)
perl5.12 @5.12.3_3+threads (active)

This is caused by the code assuming to be compiled using GCC against the GCC89 "standard", but being actually compiled by clang with C99. GNU89 and C99 differ in how they handle inline. Further reading: ​http://clang.llvm.org/compatibility.html#inline.

Fixed in r88512. Feel free to report upstream.

Nope, now it broke this way for me:

Sorry, should be fixed in r88513.
