Hi I am attempting to get a non root module directory working that can be shared by multiple architectures. All the non-binary stuff is working fine (same code for all architectures), and the binary stuff works as expected for all solaris and windows clients, however I am struggling to identify where the .so files should live for x86_64-linux-thread-multi (RHEL4).

This is where I have stored the various modules that work...
modules/5.8.8/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/auto/P4/P4.(bs,so)
modules/5.8.8/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/auto/P4/P4.(bs,so)
modules/5.8.8/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/auto/P4/P4.(bs,so)
modules/5.8.8/MSWin32-x86-multi-thread/auto/P4/P4.(bs,dll,exp,lib)
modules/5.10.0/cygwin-thread-multi-64int/auto/P4/P4.dll

[download]
And here are a couple of various places I have tried to put the failing ones...
modules/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/P4/P4.(bs,so)
modules/5.8.5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/P4/P4.(bs,so)

But whenever I run, I get the following error...
[p4admin@serv20 p4perl-2008.1]$  perl -MP4 -I /tools/perforce/scripts/

Does anybody know where the P4.(bs,so) files should live for this architecture?

Cheers
