Can you use it from the build tree, for example when you run `perl -Ilib -MTamarLog -e e`? You should test the various stages one by one, ie first that it compiles, then that it runs from the build tree, and only if that works look towards installing.	[reply] [d/l]

Well I have an update, I noticed that the "make install" didn't put the TamarLog.pm in the correct place. I put it in one of the @INC directories. and then I get a new and improved error: "ld.so.1: perl: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/sun4-solaris-64int/auto/TamarLog/TamarLog.so: symbol __1c2n6FI_pv_: referenced symbol not foun" The thing is that this exact same process worked fine on a Win32 machine.

First of all thanks for your help, I tried running it as you said: root > perl -I./lib/ -MTamarLog -e 'my $x = new TamarLog(); print $x->PrintError("YESH\n");' ld.so.1: perl: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/sun4-solaris-64int/auto/TamarLog/TamarLog.so: symbol __1c2n6FI_pv_: referenced symbol not found Killed any idea?

Well, in your build directory, ./lib is the directory where you may (but don't have to) work on your Perl sources. It's not the directory where the finished products are placed - neither the Perl modules, nor the C libraries. They are in subdirectories in blib. Try, after running 'make': `perl -Iblib/lib -Iblib/arch -MTamarLog -e '...'` [download] But, assuming you have test files, should have succeeded, as this is what 'make test' does as well.
