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

Hey Monks, I am trying to build Convert::ASN1 module but I get an error in the process. I am using perl 5.12.0 on Solaris 10. perl Makefile.PL runs without trouble, same for 'make' but 'make test' throws this error: MOST CRUCIAL PART OF IT IMO: 
t/00prim.t ....... Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.12.0/sun4-solari
+s/auto/Socket/Socket.so' for module Socket: ld.so.1: perl5.12.0: fata
+l: relocation error: file /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.12.0/sun4-solaris/au
+to/Socket/Socket.so: symbol inet_aton: referenced symbol not found at
+ /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.12.0/XSLoader.pm line 70.

Same error occured when I tried to install IO::Socket. I think something must be wrong with the Socket core module. This is all of the error log.

    What does ldd .....Socket.so output? Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include a path to the missing files.

      Hi thanks for the reply, ldd outputs: 
      -bash-3.00$ ldd /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.12.0/sun4-solaris/auto/Socket/S

        "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib"

        You might also be able to glean some hints from Not able to load module though @INC contains it

        A real sysadmin ought to be able to help you resolve this :)
