Hi all,

If anyone has any ideas on this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

Issue:

Trying to install Expect.pm(from CPAN) on Solaris 8 64/32 bit with 2 versions of perl installed. The 2 vers are the 5.0053 that comes with Solaris 8 and 5.8.7 that I installed.

I have installed Tty.pm without errors but Expect.pm craps out. I get the following error when running "perl Makefile.PL". 

# perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
ld.so.1: perl: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.

I cannot find any useful info on this at CPAN or general WWW searches. Any ideas out there?

Thanks in Advance
