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

Hi, I am trying to run check_smb_file.pl to check file share status, this script requires module Filesys::SmbClient. We have installed module manually. 
[root@s930l3000 Filesys-SmbClient-3.1]# instmodsh
Available commands are:
   l            - List all installed modules
   m <module>   - Select a module
   q            - Quit the program
cmd? l
Installed modules are:
   Exception::Class
   Filesys::SmbClient

Re: Can't load perl module Filesys::SmbClient

    Hi, your code should go inside <code></code> tags. Didn't you see that it's not rendered sanely? Please edit and fix your post.

    When you get an error complaining about failure to load a library ending in .so, it's usually because your system is missing a required C library that must be compiled and linked to by your desired Perl module.

    Have you followed the documentation for Filesys::SmbClient? As in:

    • Since 3.0 release of this package, you need a least samba-3.0.2. For prior release of Samba, use Filesys::SmbClient version 1.x. For old and 2.x release, this library is available on Samba source, but is not build by default. Do "make bin/libsmbclient.so" in sources directory of Samba to build this libraries. Then copy source/include/libsmbclient.h to /usr/local/samba/include and source/bin/libsmbclient.so to /usr/local/samba/lib before install this module.


    The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

If you don't have this file you can download last version
of Samba on www.samba.org and do:

$ tar zxvf samba-2.2.x.tar.gz
$ cd samba-2.2.x/source
$ ./configure
$ make bin/libsmbclient.so

Then you can find libsmbclient.h in source/include directory and
libsmbclient.so in source/bin directory. You can then put them in
/usr/include and /usr/lib (or /usr/local/include and
/usr/local/lib)

Re: Can't load perl module Filesys::SmbClient
by Anonymous Monk on Jul 05, 2017 at 22:27 UTC

    See Re: libwww-perl fails

    The problem is Filesys::SmbClient was installed using a different perl version that the perl version trying to load it

    So, re-install Filesys::SmbClient using the current perl version, that way when current perl version tried to load Filesys::SmbClient it will work

    Or dont try to run the program using this different perl version than the version that installed the module, use the same perl version that was used to install Filesys::SmbClient

[reply]

      As stated in the thread this works one one server, but not on another. bvani said that the perl version was different between servers, and that they had tried to install the module into various different places on the server where the error is being produced. As the error message and instance log show, perl isn't looking in the path it was installed. There's no evidence that there are multiple perls on the same server causing this problem.

[reply]

        Then libperl is corrupted somehow

        If its a system perl check the sums or whatever

        Or just install a local perl

      Hi, Can you let me know how to check perl version used to install module and perl version used to load module. Below is some information from server that can help.
