im trying to start a few programs, on eof them being ntop, but it keeps saying the below msg .. how do i register it when i have libperl .. what has happend for it to be unregisterd ?


enterprise# ntop
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libperl.so" not found, required by "ntop"

It was perhaps the recent upgrade from perl-5.8.8 to perl-5.8.9,
which means that libperl.so will have moved from

/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mach/CORE/libperl.so
                    ^^^^^
to
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/mach/CORE/libperl.so
                    ^^^^^

To fix the problem --

 * run 'perl-after-upgrade -f' -- will fix most pure perl scripts /
   modules

 * Compiled software that embeds a perl interpreter (ie. that links
   against libperl.so) will be highlighted by the perl-after-upgrade
   script.

 * If the indicated binaries fail to run, showing linker errors as
   you've seen, then those packages need to be recompiled to embed
   the new shlib path into the binaries.

So the following should sort you out:

   portupgrade -f net/ntop

        Cheers,

        Matthew
