undefined symbol: inflate

geoffleach has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

A reference to "inflate" is being inserted into my module's .so. Any ideas on from whence it might be coming? Environment is linux and I'm not using zlib, MakeMaker is up-to-date and This is perl 5, version 22, subversion 2 (v5.22.2).

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Environment is linux and I'm not using zlib I'd try linking explicitly to libz anyway and see if that fixes it. Perhaps there's a library somewhere in the chain that does need the link to libz. (Certainly, on Windows, I need the '-lz' to build Audio::TagLib. I have "-ltag -liconv -lz".) Cheers, Rob	[reply]

Try `ldd -v ...my.so` and look at a list of dlls, then look for "inflate" in those files (objdump -x my.so ...) I checked my `Encode/Unicode/Unicode.dll Cwd/Cwd.dll Encode/Encode.dll Tk/Tk.dll Tk/Event/Event.dll Encode/Byte/Byte.dll Time/HiRes/HiRes.dll` [download] they don't mention inflate	[reply] [d/l]
