I just updated my system to use (the experimental) perl 5.8 and I've run into a problem w/ autoheader that seems to be a perl issue. (I'm also running the latest cygwin DLL from CVS in case that's relevant; and I'm on win2k SP3; cygcheck output attached.) scottc@BABEL ~ $ autoheader --version C:\cygwin\bin\perl.exe: *** unable to remap C:\cygwin\lib\perl5\5.8.0\cygwin-multi-64int\auto\IO\IO.dll to same address as parent -- 0x21960000 *** continuing from debugger call 5501910 [main] perl 1656 sync_with_child: child 1860(0x150) died before initialization with status code 0x1 5522502 [main] perl 1656 sync_with_child: *** child state child loading dlls *** continuing from debugger call /usr/bin/autoheader: line 231: 1656 Aborted (core dumped) ${AUTO_DEVEL}/bin/autoheader --version -------------------------------------------------------- Autoconf version 2.13 -------------------------------------------------------- This is autoheader-wrapper, which will hand off execution to one of the two real versions listed above, depending on the contents of configure.in/configure.ac. Since the wrapper was called from within a directory in which those files are not found, this generic 'version' message is displayed. The problem is intermittent but can be triggered by running "autoheader --version" in a directory w/o any configure.in script or whatever. The particular DLL involved changes from crash to crash tho' is alway from the perl lib hierarchy. Note the hand-waving here: I don't understand the auto* stuff at all; all I know is that this just happened in the bzlib2 directory while configuring a cygwin build from scratch and I can re-create it in an empty directory. YMMV. Other than running from a locally built cygwin DLL, that otherwise seems fine, this problem just turned up on a clean install of the latest perl 5.8 via setup. For the moment I'll go back to the previous release (5.6?) so this isn't a big problem for me. Cheers, // Conrad
