[Perl-unix-users] Using DBI on Redhat 7.1

[Scott Campbell]

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I don’t see an ActiveState Linux list.   I installed DBI and DBD-MySQL on the box.   Using the perl 5.6.1 that comes with RedHat, my script works fine and talks to the database.   If I try to use ActiveState’s Linux ActivePerl, I get the following error when trying to run:   install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't load '/usr/local/ActivePerl-5.6/lib/5.6.1/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so' for module DBD::mysql: /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.6/lib/5.6.1/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so: undefined symbol: PL_perl_destruct_level at /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.6/lib/5.6.1/i686-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 206. Compilation failed in require at (eval 1) line 3. Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected   Does anyone have any idea on how to get mysql and activeperl working on RedHat Linux?     Scott Campbell Senior Software Developer Somix Technologies (207) 324-8805 http://www.somix.com
