[Solved] Cannot compile, data dump error (Perl)

jskier · 2012-06-04 23:19:31

I'm not a developer, so this may be something simple. I'm trying to get a package to compile and I get this error:

autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.in: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal --force 
Perl API version v5.14.0 of Data::Dumper does not match v5.16.0 at /usr/share/perl5/core_perl/XSLoader.pm line 92.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/C4che.pm line 33.

aclocal: error: /usr/bin/autom4te failed with exit status: 255
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 255
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

I tried uninstalling and re-installing Perl as I imagine this was caused by upgrading pacman.

Any ideas?

**UPDATE**

Removed the Data Dumper module, works fine now. I don't remember installing it in the first place, oh well

How did you manage to remove the data dumper module? Also you've got it installed, because the perl package includes it.

I also had one in AUR installed for some reason (this is the one I removed):

I get exactly the same error you've got, but I don't have perl-data-dumper installed from AUR, so I don't have any idea how to fix it.

You probably have Data::Dumper installed via a cpan shell. The module files (i.e. Data/Dumper.pm) are probably inside /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl. Delete the files under /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl and /usr/share/perl5/site_perl to remove modules installed by the cpan shell.

Works like a charm, thanks!

Try (to be sure):

pacman -Qs data-dumper

I also recompiled a few AUR Perl packages after the Perl upgrade. A more simple attempt would be to reinstall Perl perhaps. Anyone else have some other insight?

You only need to rebuild the AUR perl packages that link with perl. These are the ones that combine C code with perl. These types of modules are called XS modules. This will list all foreign (i.e. AUR) perl XS packages that need to be rebuilt.

pacman -Qml | awk '/_perl\/auto\/.+\.so$/ { print $1 }' | uniq
