1I have perl 5.10.0. Ikiwiki 2.44 compiles fine. Compiling 2.45 fails after 'make':

3    perl -Iblib/lib   ikiwiki.out -libdir . -setup docwiki.setup -refresh
4    refreshing wiki..

30>>>>> Well, here are some things to try.

35
36	joey@kodama:~/src/ikiwiki>strace perl -Iblib/lib -e 'use IkiWiki' 2>&1 |grep IkiWiki.pm
37	stat64("blib/lib/IkiWiki.pmc", 0xbfa1594c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
38	stat64("blib/lib/IkiWiki.pm", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=31982, ...}) = 0
39	open("blib/lib/IkiWiki.pm", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 5
40
41>>>>> This is how perl finds IkiWiki.pm here. Note that I've run "make" first.
42
43OK, this is what I'm getting:
44
45    $ perl -Iblib/lib -V
46    @INC:
47    blib/lib
48    /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0
49    /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0
50    /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl
51    /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl

55    /usr/lib/perl5/current
56    /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/current
57
58I ran the following in my current 2.45 source dir, where the `make` already succeded. If you need it, I can post the output
59in the case where `make` fails.
60
61    $ strace perl -Iblib/lib -e 'use IkiWiki' 2>&1 |grep IkiWiki.pm
62    stat64("blib/lib/IkiWiki.pmc", 0xbfa6167c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
63    stat64("blib/lib/IkiWiki.pm", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=31901, ...}) = 0
64    open("blib/lib/IkiWiki.pm", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
65
66> I need to see it in the case where it's failing. --[[Joey]]
67
68I finally had some time to look into this again.
69
70I wiped ikiwiki off my system, and then installed version 2.41. I tried installing
712.46 and get the same error as above, so I'll be using 2.46 below. (BTW, the debian
72page still lists 2.45 as current; I had to fiddle with the download link to get 2.46).
73
74After running `./Makefile.PL` I get:
75
76    $ perl -Iblib/lib -V
77    [bunch of lines snipped]
78      @INC:
79    blib/lib
80    [bunch of paths snipped]
81
82Running the strace:
83
84    $ strace perl -Iblib/lib -e 'use IkiWiki' 2>&1 |grep IkiWiki.pm
85
86I get a bunch of ENOENTs and then at the end:
87
88    stat64("./IkiWiki.pmc", 0xbfa2fe5c)     = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
89    stat64("./IkiWiki.pm", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=31987, ...}) = 0
90    open("./IkiWiki.pm", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
91
92After running `make` (and having it fail as described above):
93
94    $ strace perl -Iblib/lib -e 'use IkiWiki' 2>&1 |grep IkiWiki.pm
95    stat64("blib/lib/IkiWiki.pmc", 0xbfd7999c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
96    stat64("blib/lib/IkiWiki.pm", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=31901, ...}) = 0
97    open("blib/lib/IkiWiki.pm", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
98
99I don't know what is going on, but I'll run any more tests you need me to.
100
101> No help.
102> The only further thing I can think to try is `strace -f` the entire failing

105
106I have 2.46 installed and I can reproduce the bug reported against 2.49. The command that fails is:
107
108    $ /usr/bin/perl -Iblib/lib   ikiwiki.out -libdir . -setup docwiki.setup -refresh
109    docwiki.setup: Failed to load plugin IkiWiki::Plugin::inline: Too many arguments for IkiWiki::htmlize at IkiWiki/Plugin/inline.pm line 359, near "))"
110    Compilation failed in require at (eval 14) line 2.
111    BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 14) line 2.
112    BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 10) line 21.
113
114strace -f produces a 112K file. I don't know enough to be comfortable analyzing it.
115However, lines like:
116
117    stat64("/usr/local/share/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/IkiWiki.pm", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=31982, ...}) = 0
118
119make me think the make process is not completely independent of a previous
120installation. Joey, should I email you the strace log file?
121

164
165Joey, thanks for your time and effort looking into this.
166
167I checked with `which`: `perl` is indeed `/usr/bin/perl`. The commands fail similarly when
168calling `perl` and `/usr/bin/perl`.
169
170However, you might be into something with your `libdir` idea. If I remove it from the
171command line, the command succeeds. In other words, if I run
172
173    perl -Iblib/lib   ikiwiki.out -setup docwiki.setup -refresh
174
175then it works perfectly.
176
177> Well, that's just weird, because `libdir` is handled by code in IkiWiki.pm.
178> So I don't see how setting it could affect its searching for IkiWiki.pm at all,
179> actually. It could only affect its searching for files loaded later. Anyway,
180> can I get a strace of it succeeding this way?
181>
182> Also, can you show me the first 15 lines of your `ikiwiki.out`? It's occurred to me
183> you might have an unusual `use lib` line in it.
184
185By the way, I'm running Arch linux. The perl build script is a bit long, but I
186see they install a patch to modify @INC: <http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/perl/repos/core-i686/perl-5.10.0-archlinux-inc-order.patch?revision=1&view=markup>
187
188Would you suggest I try rebuilding perl without this patch? Debian has a huge perl patch (102K!);
189it's not straightforward for me to see if they do something similar to Arch.
190
191> I think Debian has a similar patch.
192
193---
194
195[[done]] -- apparently this was a problem due to a distribution's
196customisation to perl, or something. Seems to late now to track down what,
197unfortunatly. And ikiwiki's Makefile no longer uses the "-libdir" switch
198that seemed to trigger the bug. --[[Joey]]
