Just installed the Tk package. I got an error:
ld.so.1: /bin/perl: fatal: relocation error: file

Anyone can tell me what's that? How to fix it? Thanks, Ying
not sure how much you already know about 'so' files, 'shared objects' - it is 'compiled code' like a perl module, but in the native language of the OS. so given your path, we are to assume then that you built(???) and/or downloaded for solaris? And that you are running this on a Solaris machine???
Ok, this is where things can get a bit dicey, so bear with me:
vladimir: 68:] pwd ; nm -a *.so | grep -i perl
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/sun4-solaris-64int/auto/Socket
U Perl_croak
U Perl_form
U perl_get_sv
U Perl_mg_set
U Perl_newSViv
U Perl_newSVpvn
U Perl_newXS
U Perl_stack_grow
U Perl_sv_2iv
U Perl_sv_2mortal
U Perl_sv_2pv
U Perl_sv_2uv
U Perl_sv_newmortal
U Perl_sv_setnv
U Perl_sv_setpvn
vladimir: 69:]our friend 'nm' - ( cf "man nm" ) is great for listing the 'symbols' in a shared object. and in this case I thought I would use the Socket.so, and pick out only the "Perl" symbols.
Since I can never remember where "CORE" is, and we are presuming here that your Perl was built with Dynamic Linking, or YOU ARE SOOOO TOAST, you too can check with "perl -V" and in the section where it talks about
Dynamic Linking:
dlsrc=dl_dlopen.xs, dlext=so, d_dlsymun=undef, ccdlflags=' -R /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/sun4-solaris-64int/CORE'
cccdlflags='-fPIC', lddlflags='-G'
that "-R" flag is where we are going to go and see if we can find the relocatable symbol we want Resolved.
vladimir: 80:] cd /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/sun4-solaris-64int/CORE vladimir: 81:] nm libperl.so | grep perl_get_sv 00021bcc T perl_get_sv vladimir: 82:]
and in my case, I see the symbol being defined in the libperl.so right where I would expect it to be.
If on the other hand your version of perl was not built with Dynamic Linking, that part where you are Soooo Toast, you need to
a. build your perl that way, if you want to
use the dynamic linking capability b. build the version of Tk with the current
version of perl that you will be using c. download and install a static version of the Tk
tool set so that all external references are resolved
from what would be libperl.a at compile time, rather
than from libperl.so at run time.Hope that Helps, a bit long, but not a simple issue, eh what?
