can't locate in @INC

js1 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

I have a redhat 64 bit machine and I'm trying to run webmin but the perl is complaining it can't locate Net::SSLeay although as you can see below it is installed.
Can anyone help me please?

Thanks,
js1.

Here's some information about the perl I'm using:

[root@host1 webmin]# find / -name SSLeay.pm

I tried using perl -I with the relevant include path but still no luck:

Re: can't locate in @INC by Corion (Patriarch) on Mar 12, 2007 at 12:23 UTC
Your Net::SSLeay is only installed for the i386 Perl: `/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/Net/SSLeay.pm` The Perl you use is a 64-bit Perl which cannot work with the 32-bit extensions: `/usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi` The two cannot work together. Since you seem to be using a RedHat stock Perl, you might want to consider to install the RPM version of Net::SSLeay for your version of Perl, which hopefully includes the `libssleay` as a dependency. An alternate approach could be to compile your own, separate Perl and install it under (for example) `/opt/perl`, and to compile the modules you want there.	[reply] [d/l]

As far as I can tell, the CPAN module is pretty clever about finding and assembling mods for your current variant of perl that's in use. `perl -MCPAN -e shell install Net::SSLeay` [download] Although you will have to do some configurating if this is the first time you've run it.	[reply] [d/l]
