I would hazard a guess that the software is asking for a Perl_Gthr_key_ptr function which doesn't exist in the shared object Cwd.so so there may well be a mismatch between the software requirements and what you have installed. I suggest you fix the first bug first in case your skipping it is causing this bug.
