Hi,

I am on a Linux-system with an old 5.8.8 Perl where I am not root and cannot get to the internet from.

What I want is readline-support for the debugger for me, so I tried to install Term::ReadLine and Term::ReadKey locally to a subdir of my home via tarballs running "perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=...; make; make install".

The installation did not give me any errors, but Term::Readkey does not work: 

 perl -MTerm::ReadKey -e 1
Can't load '/home/whatever/PM/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-mu
+lti/auto/Term/ReadKey/ReadKey.so' for module Term::ReadKey: /home/wha

+5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 230.

Compilation failed in require.

I have not seen this before - can someone tell what the problem is here?

Many thanks!
