Re: Event::Lib fails install test (cpan -t)

Can't load '/root/.cpan/build/Event-Lib-1.03/blib/arch/auto/Event/Lib/Lib.so' for module Event::Lib: libevent-1.3d.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

'/root/.cpan/build/Event-Lib-1.03/blib/arch/auto/Event/Lib/Lib.so' can be found - but it can't be loaded because 'libevent-1.3d.so.1' can't be found. I'm not a *nix person, so I'm unsure of the fix. Is it simply a matter of running ldconfig (from the command line) as root ?

Cheers,
Rob

Thanks Rob, '/root/.../Lib/Lib.so' is there. Not being to familiar my self, I just tried: `ldconfig root/.cpan/build/Event-Lib-1.03/blib/arch/auto/Event/Lib/Lib +.so` [download] When re-running cpan -t Event::Lib, I still get the following: `t/01_event-lib...................Can't load '/root/.cpan/build/Event-L +ib-1.03/blib/arch/auto/Event/Lib/Lib.so' for module Event::Lib: libev +ent-1.3d.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or direct +ory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm lin +e 230. at t/01_event-lib.t line 10` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
