Hi folks, I am trying to install a threads module downloaded from CPAN ( threads-1.71.tar) in my home directory (~/data_mirror/ver2/pmodules). The version of the perl installed on my linux machine (at default path) does not have the latest. I want to use the method $thr->is_joinable() to see if thread is ready to join and it is not supported in the installed version. $ perl -version This is perl, v5.8.6 built for i686-linux-thread-multi
Here are the steps I followed, 1. cd ~/threads-1.71/ 2. perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/data_mirror/ver2/pmodules 3. make install ==> compilation gives me error on -march=pentium3 option which I changed to -march=opteron (processor is AMD dual core opteron) and then it works. 4. When I execute the following perl script I get the error, can't load threads.so. -- It (threads.so) exists at the path reported in the error. -- I also set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to directory where threads.so exists. Help is really appreciated.. Also if this is not the right mailing list pl. let me know the right one and I can post the message there. Thx. $ perl yyy.pl $VAR1 = [ '/homes/gogate/data_mirror/ver2/pmodules/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux-thread-m ulti', '/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux-thread-multi', '/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.6', '/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux-thread-multi', '/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6', '/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl', '.' ]; Can't load '/homes/gogate/data_mirror/ver2/pmodules/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux-thread-m ulti/auto/threads/threads.so' for module threads: /homes/gogate/data_mirror/ver2/pmodules/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux-thread-mu lti/auto/threads/threads.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /homes/gogate/data_mirror/ver2/pmodules/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux-thread-mu lti/XSLoader.pm line 70. at /homes/gogate/data_mirror/ver2/pmodules/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux-thread-mu lti/threads.pm line 32 Compilation failed in require at yyy.pl line 25.
