in reply to Can't load LibXML.so for module XML::LibXML: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file

I wanted to upgrade perl in such a way that it supports both the machines. Please suggest a solution for this error.

There is no solution because 64/32 bit dont mix, there are no universal binaries available

I would start with http://sourceforge.net/projects/citrusperl/files/Perl%205.16.3/Linux/, one for each binary-ness edition required

    is this applicable for other platforms like Windows, Solaris, AIX, HP_UX etc??

        Hi Monks,

        I had faced the similar issue on LibXSLT.dll with Windows machine. I had used Active perl. But downloading LibXSLT using ppm did not solve the error since it was not available.

        Later i could solve this error by using http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/ where i could download the LibXML and LibXSLT.

        I would like to know if the necessary binaries are available for Linux machines too. I tried installing citrus perl and ended with

        ERROR:

        error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.... even if libperl.so is available.

        if there is any way to make 32 bit work on 64 bit will help me a lot

        Any suggestions would be greatful :)

        Thanks & Regards
