in reply to Align.so: undefined symbol & symbol lookup error

I checked some of the forums and did this:
cpanp -i /usr/local/lib64/perl5/auto/Bio/Ext/Align/Align.so

Why did you do this and what did you want to achieve?

If you want to install a module, it is easiest to name the module explicitly:

cpanp -i Bio::Ext::Align

But it seems that you already have Bio::Ext::Align installed but it breaks on your system because of some symbols not getting found. Who did build that instance of Bio::Ext::Align and with what version of Perl did they build it (resp. against which version of the Blast libraries did they build it?).
