errors installing XS module on Solaris

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello friends..I was trying to install Log4Perl module in my own subdirectory in UNIX (since I do not have admin rights) and while doing perl Makefile.PL I keep receiving this following error:

ld.so.1: perl: fatal: relocation error: file /opt/edenv/perl/sun4-sola
+ris/auto/Time/HiRes/HiRes.so: symbol perl_get_sv: referenced symbol n

Perl modules using XS are notoriously hard to install correctly on solaris, usually because the perl shipped with solaris was built using the sun workshop compiler. As a result, trying to compile XS modules often fails, because most of the time the only compiler around is gcc, which causes a conflict. Either that, or your compiler doesn't know where your libperl is. Try adjusting `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` or other such environment variables. --chargrill `s*lil; $=join'',sort split q; s;.;grr; &&s+(.(.)).+$2$1+; $; = qq-$_-;s,.,ahc,;$,.=chop for split q,,,reverse;print for($,,$;,$,$/)` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
