Hi I'm having a bit of trouble getting a SDL::Perl running on a debian Lenny setup.
I have SDL::Perl installed from CPAN. Alien::SDL installed from cpan with the option to build all dependencies and library's. When I was testing to get things working, my short test script would throw an error. The script and the error are below. I have libjpeg.so.8 built in the Alien SDL directory, but my guess is that SDL isn't correctly configured to pick up that library folder. I don't want to mess up the system SDL install incase something goes wrong, and I can't install libjpeg.so.8 from packages on Lenny, as there is no package for it. How do I have SDL recognize the library's provided by SDL::Alien, or what am I doing wrong? Thanks, Here is my script: #!/usr/bin/perl use 5.010; use strict; use warnings; use SDLx::App; use SDLx::Sprite; my $app = SDLx::App->new(height=>1024,width=>768); my $sprite = SDLx::Sprite->new(image=>'pic.jpg'); $sprite->draw($app); Here is the Error error loading image pic.jpg: Failed loading libjpeg.so.8: libjpeg.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0/SDLx/Surface.pm line 188 SDLx::Surface::load('SDLx::Surface', 'pic.jpg') called at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0/SDLx/Sprite.pm line 25 SDLx::Sprite::new('SDLx::Sprite', 'image', 'pic.jpg') called at ./slideshow.pl line 14 #------------------------------------------------------ Adam Fairbrother Help Desk Technician afairbrot...@sd73.bc.ca School District #73 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
