Hello,
In order to overcome a known performance bug in perl-5.8.8-10 in centos 5 (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=196836) I downloaded the perl package from fedora 8 (http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/source/SRP...) and mod_perl (http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/source/SRP...) and compiled them on an x86_64 machine following instructions from http://sial.org/howto/rpm/.
The perl-5.8.8-30 installed fine but when I try to install the new mod_perl it insists on installing perl-4:5.8.8-10.el5_0.2.i386:
Dependencies Resolved
============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Installing: mod_perl x86_64 2.0.3-14 threatmetrix 5.5 M Installing for dependencies: perl i386 4:5.8.8-10.el5_0.2 updates 12 M
Going ahead with this complains about conflicts with the installed perl-5.8.8-30.
What can I do to fix this?
Is anyone here is aware of another way to get a fixed version of perl for CentOS 5?
Thanks,
