perl recompilation
 
Hi,

I got the below error messages when using the perl version 5.10

perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/current/i686-linux-thread-multi/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr

I googled and find the below URL, In that they mentioned it is a bug

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9078

Also they explained recompilation will solve the problem like that. Could someone explain how to recompile the perl packages.

Thanks,

Recompiling Perl is a god-awful adventure. Good luck.

However, you might have good luck by using the Linux From Scratch documentation as a reference:

The link does not suggest to compile perl but to compile perl modules to correct an incompatibility with perl version...

Try to compile and reinstall the module with cpan
Code:
cpan
cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
cpan> reload cpan
cpan> install XML::Parser
cpan> exit

Look again. The LFS stuff has a hack for a particular module, but that documentation does in fact build the full perl (in addition to perl modules.)

I was talking about the OP's link (arch discussion from 2008)...
