Re^2: Couldn't find gmp library after moving perl module

Thanks! I'll try to re-install some modules on machine B. Two quick questions: 1. "use lib $my_perl_dir" shoul be placed in my perl script, right? 2. Do you think just move the following gmp files should be enough to use gmp library? libgmp.a libgmp.so libgmp.so.3.4.1 libgmp.la libgmp.so.3

Yes you'll need the 'use lib /path/to/wherever' in your script. This tells Perl to add this path to @INC so it will then look there for modules. As for moving the libraries, it *might work. But there are several things that can go wrong when doing that, so it's best to just rebuild the module on the local box to avoid those issues. Unless of course like actually enjoy doing things the hard way and creating more work for yourself! Frank Wiles <frank@revsys.com> www.revsys.com	[reply]
