Dear all,
Just done an eix-sync -> emerge -NuD world and have a problem with the
above mentioned package. As a quick first pass before I put all the
error/debugging stuff together, does anyone know what the following
snippet would mean, I'm totally Perl ignorant?

* perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/usr INSTALLDIRS=vendor INSTALLMAN3DIR=none
DESTDIR=/var/tmp/portage/dev-perl/IO-Socket-SSL-2.43.0/image/
perl: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.24.1/x86_64-linux/auto/Net/SSLeay/SSLeay.so:
undefined symbol: SSLeay_version
* ERROR: dev-perl/IO-Socket-SSL-2.43.0::gentoo failed (configure phase):
* Unable to build!

According to packages.gentoo.org, I've got the latest version of
Net-SSLeay, 1.8

Any thoughts greatly appreciated,

Andrew

An undefined symbol is a reference to a function called SSLeay_version
not being defined in the SSLeay_version.so module.

Have you updated dev-lang/perl recently and perhaps forgot to run
perl-cleaner afterwards?

Just a thought.

Alexander,
I remember to do the python-updater but had forgotten about the perl
equivalent, perl-cleaner. Gave it a run but I still get the same error,
whilst the cleaner is running. Might be time to file a bug, unless
anyone else has updated this is the last day or so with no error's?

Regards,
Andrew

Based on the CPAN info on NET::SSLeay,
http://search.cpan.org/~mikem/Net-SSLeay-1.80/lib/Net/SSLeay.pod,
SSLeay_version has been available in this module in versions >
Net-SSLeay-1.42. So it should be available in 1.8, which is what you
say you have. Could be a bug, as you suggested.
What USE flags do you have NET::SSLeay compiled with, and what other
flag are available for it?

Do you have openssl or libressl installed on your system?

I've got openssl, but when eix lists it, the version installed, the
latest, 1.1.0c, is in red, masked. I don't have libressl installed.

I don't have an answer for you at the moment, sorry.

You probably want to run this by the maintainers of Net-SSLeay, pe...@gentoo.org.

Please file a bug, and add your whole build log and the output of
"emerge --info" there. Then we can investigate more...

I masked this, when I originally asked the question, unmasked this
morning and now all is good. No idea what I/the system/portage changed
but it now compiled. Now it's busybox causing trouble.....
