I am trying to use the GD library to show dynamicly created GIF files
thru CGI scripts.

After installing the packages GD and Chart from
http://www.linux-magazin.de/ausgabe.1997.12/Chart/chart.html
and using the example script space.pl i get the following errors in my httpd log file:

Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/i586-linux/5.00404/auto/IO/IO.so' for module IO: Unable to resolve symbol at /usr/lib/perl5/i586-linux/5.00404/DynaLoader.pm line 166.

Seems the DynamicLoader is'nt able to load a dynamic object file. After
some research I came to the conclusion that maybe Perl 5.004.04 wasn't compiled with the correct options. (see http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/data/mod_perl/mod_perl_traps.html , section Perl modules )

I downloaded Perl 5.005.02, removed 5.004.04 from my system, installed the new Perl version, and ofcourse the Apache webserver didn't want to start anymore. /usr/libexec/apache/libperl.so was still refering to the old Perl version.

Yuck, that means I have to download the Apache source and compile it. Lot of work for such a stupid problem, and I am not even sure it will fix the problem.


So, does anyone know how to fix the 'can't load module' problem without recompiling god knows what on my Suse 5.3 system?
