May be LD_LIBRARY_PATH (environment variable) setting problem. Try to add your "external C library" in it before running your perl script.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/lwire/perllib/clib HTH, José. -----Original Message----- From: Reid Beels [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2003 3:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: DynaLoader with nonstandard lib location I'm trying to install a module (Image::Imlib2) which depends on DynaLoader being able to find an external C library. Normally, this wouldn't cause a problem but I'm being forced to install the module on a system which I do not have root access on and thus must store the both the module and the library it seeks in a nonstandard location. The location for the module is working fine, as expected, but I have yet to find a way to tell DynaLoader to look in the correct place for the library. I have tried adding push(@DynaLoader::dl_library_path, '/home/lwire/perllib/clib'); to both the script which I am calling Image::Imlib2 from and to Imlib2.pm itself. Either way, I receive the following error: Can't load '/home/lwire/perllib/lib/perl5/5.6.1//i686-linux/auto/Image/Imlib2/ Imlib2.so' for module Image::Imlib2: libImlib2.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory a t /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 206. Do I need to be defining dl_library_path somewhere else or is there some other method that I can use to define the search path??
