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

I am compiling Perl5.6 on solaris 2.5.1 wt gnugcc 2.8.1 and Apache 1.3.4 on it. I followed all 4 steps (configure, make, make test, make install), everything goes smooth, saying "everything is upto-date, all tests succesful, Installation complete".

But when tried to execute any perl program it gives error "can't find loadable object for module JNI in @INC (@INC contains:...... ), compilation failed.... BEGIN failed--compilation aborted"

whats wrong wt installation of perl5.6 ?

when tried to compile in JPL,JNI dir manually, err-msgs changes says "Solaris patch reqd to run this version of Java Runtime" I have already installed reqd solaris patches for JDK1.2. whats wrong ???

presently I am running Perl5.004 without any problem, but I must upgrade it to Perl 5.6 for some utilities to run.

Can anybody help me on this issue ??
Thanks in advance

Hemant
