Global symbols issue on DEC

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

We are running one Perl program and got following error mesage:

" Can't make loaded symbols global on this platform while loading
/mcc/userware/perl-5.8.8/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/alpha-dec_osf-thread-mult
+i/auto/Glib/Glib.so at
/mcc/userware/perl-5.8.8/lib/5.8.8/alpha-dec_osf-thread-multi/DynaLoad
+er.pm line 230.

Any solution ? I checked the answer to simliliar question on OpenBSD, and tried to change the Glib.pm and Gtk.pm but no luck.

I had something similar recently on linux. I had needed to run /sbin/ldconfig to register a shared library before a Perl module could load it. Not sure about your platform's needs vis-a-vis shared libraries, but could possibly give you a direction to look. How did you install the modules? Did 'make test' return any errors? non-Perl: Andy Ford	[reply]

I can not find /sbin/ldconfig in my machine. I got everything from my conterpartner who uses same Platform. I just copied into the same structure.	[reply]
