IO:AIO Patch (Necessary for MogileFS::Server install)

[okwap]

Hi all,

I encounter IO:AIO issues while installing MogileFS::Server.

The root cause is configure file of IO:AIO is incompatible with modern GCC versions.

Here is a patch to fix it:

What version of GCC / OS are you using?

Ah, thank you Peter. It seems to be looking for libperl, which doesn't
seem to be necessary for it to work. Installing libperl-dev fixes it
though.

Cheers,

Yeah I think libperl-dev is necessary for MogileFS installation.

However, in this case, the error message is:

gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-V'

I saw those errors in config.log, but on my machine Makefile.PL
successfully completed once libperl-dev was installed. I've sent the
attached patch to the author, which seems to fix building *without*
libperl-dev, as it wasn't necessary on earlier versions.

GJ!

I sent my patch to the author too.
