perl compilation problem

marcin1509 · 05-13-2017, 01:43 PM

Hello
I tried to compile Perl and I got an error message

Code:

error while loading shared libraries : libgdm.so.4 Cannot open shared 
object file : No such file or directory

Ok I know - this file doesn't exist in /usr/local/lib.
Compilation of gdbm worked fine. Why this file is not created ?
Regards

Are the gdbm utilities (gdbm_dump, gdbm_load and gdbmtool) installed in /usr/bin? If not, you forgot the "make install" step.

The library should be in /usr/lib, not /usr/local/lib. Can you check that?

Yes.
I have this File in this location.
It's a link to file libgdm.so.4.0.0 which is next to It.

Sorry, which location? Your post is ambiguous. This library and its link should both be in /usr/lib.

If they are there, then I am out of ideas! I suggest you post the problem on the LFS mailing list where a more knowledgeable person can find it.

PS: There is an earlier post in this forum here which might be relevant. The problem I have with it is that their suggested solution shouldn't be necessary. ld should automatically be looking for libraries in /lib and /usr/lib without being told to.

In /usr/bin as I mentioned .
I know that there is a post about It but ubfortunately It doesn't work

Update :
I had twk files :.
Libgdm.so.4 - the symbolic link to below file
libgdmso.4.0.0 - the File compiler requested

I deleted the link and renamed the second to libgdm.so.4 and It works.
