Clayton,

That was the problem!  Funny how I've never run into it before ... oh
well.

Thanks for the timely and much needed help!

It looks as though "the system" doesn't know where to find the=20
ARS API libraries

In the following insructions $ARSAPI refers to the location you set=20
for $ARSAPI in Makefile.PL

Are the $ARSAPI/lib/* libraries registered with the system?
If they are you can find out where it thinks they are by running (as
root)
/sbin/ldconfig -p | grep libars.so

If you get no results back you need to add $ARSAPI/lib to the list of=20
directories that contain libraries. In /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ create a file=20
called ars-api-5.12.conf and add one line to it: $ARSAPI/lib

I'm not sure but you may need to run ldconfig (man ldconfig for the
correct options)=20
to have it register the libraries

HTH,
Clayton
