Description Patrick Kirsch 2008-06-09 09:21:27 UTC

host: colfax
product: OpenSUSE 11.0

problem: newburn does not run due its requirement to asm/page.ph which perl 5.10 does not provide anymore.

colfax:/usr/lib/ctcs2 # ./tools/newburn-run 
Can't locate asm/page.ph in @INC (@INC contains: lib/perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at /usr/lib/ctcs2/bin/newburn/newburn-generator line 25.

Same situation with SLES11 Beta1.

Comment 4 Yi Xu 2008-10-09 15:10:28 UTC

is there any substitution for asm/page.ph provided by perl?

Comment 5 Michael Schröder 2008-10-11 15:29:55 UTC

Don't ask me, ask the glibc people. Perl just provides what's in /usr/include.
Why does it need page.ph anyway?

(And don't ressign the bug, use NEEDINFO if you want info)

Comment 6 Yi Xu 2008-10-15 08:42:21 UTC

Mark as blocker as it blocks from testing.

Comment 7 Daniel Gollub 2008-10-15 11:37:26 UTC

JFYI, asm/page.h got removed with 2.6.27(-rcX) from the kernel headers installation - this got discussed upstream on the ltp list:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ltp/5548/focus=352

I don't know the code of newburn - but i bet it's looking there for PAGE_SIZE or something like that. If so get the proper PAGE_SIZE value via sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE) or something like that.
