[Arsperl-users] Errors with linux701p1 API

[Peter F. <Pet...@LP...>]

I am upgrading from API version 5.1 to 7.01 on Linux and have run into
difficulties. I downloaded the new API tarball and extracted it, then
pointed the ARSPerl Makefile.PL to the new location, did a make clean,
make and make install... no errors. When I do a use ARS in Perl, though, I
see the following errors:

Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux/auto/ARS/ARS.so' for
module ARS: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux/auto/ARS/ARS.so:
undefined symbol: ucnv_open_3_2 at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
 at GetField.pl line 38
Compilation failed in require at GetField.pl line 38.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at GetField.pl line 38.

I am using the sample GetField.pl to test.

I have added the API lib directory to /etc/ld.so.conf and reran ldconfig,
but it makes no difference. Flipping back to the 5.1 libs clears up the
problem.
