[28698] dbg: plugin: loading FuzzyOcr? from /usr/local/share/spamassassin/FuzzyOcr.pm Subroutine FuzzyOcr::O_NONBLOCK redefined at /usr/share/perl/5.8/Exporter.pm line 65.

This is an error that comes most likely from the Perl Core. It happens because both Posix and Fnctl export some constants with the same name. You can safely ignore this, upgrading perl should fix it.

I'm getting the same error on an up-to-date installation of RHEL 4 linux, using the latest available version of perl from the redhat channel: perl-5.8.5-36.RHEL4.src.rpm.

Subroutine FuzzyOcr::O_NONBLOCK redefined at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/Exporter.pm line 65.
 at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/POSIX.pm line 19

Suggested fix is using a unique constant name.

[decoder]

FuzzyOcr? does not define this constant, POSIX does. This is also only caused when some other modules/plugins are installed that use the same constants. You may ignore this.

I'm having this problem now with O_CREAT and other symbols and in my case it's not acceptable because I'm calling spamassassin programatically from a perlscript which is called by exim. Exim is seeing these messages on stderr and hard bouncing all mail. So in my case I cannot ignore them and it's not an acceptable solution. Is there any other way this can be fixed properly?

[anonymous]

When you use posix in FuzzyOCR do you need to import all these symbols or can you simply ensure that you're only importing the ones you need from either Fnctl or POSIX instead of both which it is doing now?

With perl version 5.8.8 work jpeg fine. I have in version 5.8.6 this error

Thanks.

Robert Nicholson provides a solution at :  http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=spamassassin-users&a=2007-01&t=3051735

In case the links breaks here is the solution:

Instead of use POSIX; in FuzzyOcr?.pm I've replaced it with use POSIX qw(SIGTERM); that seems to have fix this issue.
