Perlbrew - installing Term::ReadLine::Gnu on OS X

1k views Asked by At

Trying installing Term::ReadLine::Gnu on OS X. make test returns errors, like:

t/00checkver.t .. 1/3 panic: free from wrong pool, 62696c2f62696c!=7f8ed2801200 during global destruction.

After a searching found an advice compile perl with -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV. So, tried the next:

perlbrew install perl-5.16.3 --thread --multi --debug -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV

Need threads because the Padre needs them. Unfortunately, recompile doesn't helps and getting the same error. Next, I found this What is the cause for “panic: free from wrong pool during global destruction.” in Term::ReadLine::Gnu? question, and the accepted answer suggest to use: -Accflags="-DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV".

The questions are:

  • mainly, how to get a working Term::ReadLine::Gnu on OS X with perlbrew?
  • how to compile/install/switch the perl with perlbrew to getting working perl for the Padre, what needs Term::ReadLine::Gnu.

Only wondering:

  • if the perl needs some "SAFE_PUTENV" for compile some CPAN modules, why is it not ON default? Why someone want a perl where isn't possible compile some CPAN modules?
  • have someone working Padre & perlbrew on OS X?

If someone needs:

As linked in the question, the answer is already in this answer. Run:

 perlbrew install perl-5.16.3 --thread --multi --64all --debug --clang -Accflags="-DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV"

and with this perl will get a successful installation:

$ cpanm Term::ReadLine::Gnu

In daxim's answer nowhere stated than the -Accflags works for perlbrew too. Really need read perlbrew help where is clearly stated:

-D,-U,-A       Switches passed to perl Configure script.

Anyway, still don't underdtand why for OS X is the -Accflags="-DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV" not an default, but the lessons learned:

For OS X when build perl with perlbrew, an ordinary user should use

perlbrew -Accflags="-DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV"`

to getting an working perl.
