Re: Can't load DBlib.so

The error probably means that you haven't properly installed sybperl, but only copied the .pm files. That's not enough for a module that contains C extensions too.

Perl 6 - second systems done right

but only copied the .pm files The error messages make it pretty obvious that this isn't the case. Perl wouldn't say "Can't load $very_specific_path/$mod.so" unless it found a .so file. Even if it did, the "can't load" would then have a reason of "no such file" not a specific complaint about a symbol reference found in that .so file not being resolved. - tye	[reply]

I did a fresh installation of freetds & sybperl using freetds, unless it wont generate DBlib.so, its something to do with teh library paths, which is done by Dynaloader.pm module I googled and found that Dynlaoader.pm loads libraries from default lib paths and then looks @ $LD_LIBRARY_PATH for any new libraries, due to which my DBlib library is probably not referenced.
