Code: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use Prima;


here is the out put
Output:
root@stone-age ~# perl primainfo.pl

    perl: symbol lookup error:
    /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Prima/Prima.so:
    undefined symbol: XShapeQueryExtensio
    Looks like Prima is trying to use the X11 Shape extension, but could not link to it.

    Could you run ldd /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Prima/Prima.so and post the output?

    XShapeQueryExtension resides in libXext.so, but judging by your output Prima either wasn't linked with it (because X11/Xext.h wasn't found by Makefile.PL), or you have a configuration problem on your machine. If you could rerun Prima's Makefile.PL and post the output, and possibly excerpt from makefile.log (it's big, so only Xext-related parts), then I'd be able to help more.
