[Spread-users] Perl module for Spread not working - "cannot open shared object file" ?

[Jan Mulders]

Hello all.

I'm having some trouble getting Spread's perl module to work properly under
Fedora Core.

I install Spread as follows:

cd /root/
tar -xvzf spread-src-3.17.4.tar.gz
cd spread-src-3.17.4
./configure
make
make install

cd perl/Spread
perl Makefile.PL
make install

...and then try to use the following script (only the first 5 lines or so
included) to listen for messages, and write each one to MySQL:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Spread; # qw(:SP :ERROR :MESS);
use Crypt::RC4;
use Mysql;
use vars qw{$time};

I have tried omitting and including the specific functions to use, as seen
above (by the qw).

I always get the following error:

Can't load
'/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Spread/Spread.so'
for module Spread: libspread.so: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
 at ./spread2mysql.pl line 3
Compilation failed in require at ./spread2mysql.pl line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./spread2mysql.pl line 3.

Spread.so is in the correct place, however:
root at fdc6 [~]# locate Spread.so
/root/spread-src-3.17.4-modified/perl/Spread/blib/arch/auto/Spread/Spread.so
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Spread/Spread.so

... as is libspread...

root at fdc6 [~]# locate libspread.so
/root/spread-src-3.17.4/libspread.so
/root/spread-src-3.17.4-modified/libspread.so
/usr/local/lib/libspread.so
/usr/local/lib/libspread.so.1.0
root at fdc6 [~]#

root at fdc6 [~]# locate DynaLoader.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm
root at fdc6 [~]#

...Does anyone have any ideas what the issue is? Spread itself runs fine,
spuser does the job, everything but Perl seems to be fine.

Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved.

Thanks,

Jan
