ianlau has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, anyone can guide me on fixing the following file not found problem ? I got it when loading:


use Sybase::DBlib;

Can't load '/opt/perl/5.6.0/lib/site_perl/5.6.0/sun4-solaris/auto/Sybase/DBlib/DBlib.so' for module Sybase::DBlib: ld.so.1: test.pl: fatal: libsybdb.so: open failed: No such file or directory at /opt/perl/5.6.0/lib/5.6.0/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 200.

Thanks in advance.

    No such file or directory
    That's right, I guess. But that could mean that
    • either /opt/perl/5.6.0/lib/site_perl/5.6.0/sun4-solaris/auto/Sybase/DBlib/DBlib.so doesn't exist
    • or a subsequent shared object file used by the above shared library doesn't exist

    So, it seems to (and the fix is)

    • either the module is not installed correctly (re-install)
    • or the module was linked against the wrong libraries (re-install)
    • or it has been compiled on a different machine and copied over (install software Sybase::DBlib depends upon, then rebuild)

    --shmem 

    _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·

    If you're dealing with a CGI script I've found that setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH inside the perl cgi script does not work. Instead I've had to add a line to the Apache conf file in order to export the environment file correctly, like so:
    PassEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    If libsybdb.so exists on your system (usually in $SYBASE/OCS-XY_Z/lib where XY_Z is 12_5 or 15_0) then the most likely problem is that your LD_LIBRARY_PATH isn't set correctly. The easiest way of setting your environment correctly is to source the SYBASE.sh (or SYBASE.csh) file located in the root directory of the Sybase install.
