Problem Locating DB_File.PM at startup of perl script
Hi all, I've run into a very frustrating problem. I'm getting the old Can't locate loadable object for module... error, yet the file does exist in the @INC path. Here's some system output: --- [Wed Jul 18 12:18:04 2001] pickcity.cgi: Can't locate loadable object for module DB_File in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /var/pickcity/htdocs/pickcity.cgi line 12 [Wed Jul 18 12:18:04 2001] pickcity.cgi: Compilation failed in require at /var/pickcity/htdocs/pickcity.cgi line 12.

Re: Problem Locating DB_File.PM at startup of perl script
Interesting question. The file owner is root. However, I actually launched the perl cgi from the shell as root and got the error message, so I'm not sure that matching the file owner with the owner of the httpd process would make much difference (yet).

BTW, executing the script seemed to be able to locate CGI, DBI, and POSIX just fine.

Hi James, The loadable object is not the .pm file, it's the binary compiled object file that DB_File.pm needs to bootstrap. Sounds like you need to reinstall the module.

Re: Problem Locating DB_File.PM at startup of perl script
Ken, Thanks for your reply. It does makes sense, eventhough I'm new to perl modules and their implementation. BTW, do you know what that file would be named? I installed it under perl 5.6.0, but when I try to install it under 5.6.1 I get the error (which seems to be a linker error) /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldb. A bit of research lead me to some mention of needing a libdb2 version, but I haven't gotten to deep into it yet and am hoping that I can use my previous installation of DB_File (under 5.6.0) for now.
