Re: expat library issue

Was expat compiled with a different compiler than the Perl you are using? The Perl that comes with Solaris is compiled with Sun's compiler, and I have been bitten before by modules compiled with gcc that refuse to work with it.

Supposedly perlgcc addresses this very issue. I don't use it, so I don't know how well it works.	[reply]

Try to have a look at what's the compiler you are using. As the gcc compiler is not compatible with the Sun cc compiler. You mentioned migration in your post, which I think might partially explain why the things are failing. Are you migrating to a different SUN OS? Another thought, I used to get weired behaviour on my solaris system, with inconsistent ordering of /usr/local/lib and /usr/lib, etc., in the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so one version of the program was started with another version of the so.
