That symbol would be defined in libperl.so and is on my system.. It sounds very much as if this software is not playing nicely. Does it have its own version of perl, perhaps embedded? Is it messing with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or something similar? You could track this down, depending on how much effort you wanted to put into it. You could start by stracing the whole process. Or you could locate a correct version of the package. Or you could try compiling everything up yourself. Or just the source for that package. Or you could log a bug somewhere. I depends on how much it's worth to you and how much time and effort you have to invest. -- Paul Johnson - p...@pjcj.net http://www.pjcj.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
