Hi guys,
I upgraded exim to v4.50_1 today, but couldn't get it to run smoothly.
Exim's child process bombs out when it tries to start the perl interpreter:
98182 processing "warn"
98182 Starting Perl interpreter
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: exim: Undefined symbol "Perl_eval_sv"
98175 child 98182 ended: status=0x100
98175 0 SMTP accept processes now running
98175 Listening...
When I enable perl_at_startup, exim crashes right at startup. Given the
above, this is expected. But it allows me to show you my version info:
$ exim -d -bV

Is this something FreeBSD-specific or a general bug? Perl support worked
flawlessly in exim v4.44. Installing exim v4.50 from scratch showed the
same behaviour. I'm using the /usr/ports/mail/exim-ldap2 port.
