[SL] Printing error

[Nicholas T. O. <brn...@os...>]

I am having a problem printing. When I try to print an invoice I get the
following error:

panic: attempt to copy freed scalar 1435040 to 8e16e8 at SL/Form.pm line
984

I have no idea about how to resolve this.

I had been using Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10, SP 2. Yesterday my
entire file system went to read only so I updated to openSuse 11.0,
which fixed the read-only problem. Now I have this problem and I'm
afraid I will not be able to print checks tomorrow. Any help is greatly
appreciated. Thank you.

   That line follows a function. However, since I find perl quite opaque I
cannot tell you what's being done here.

   Form.pm is a perl module. The installed version may be outdated relative
to the perl version installed in your upgrade. If you can use CPAN, try
installing the latest version:

(as root)# perl -CPAN -e shell
<cpan> install Form

then follow instructions.

   You might also consider upgrading to SQL-Ledger 2.8.18 if you're not
already there.

   As a last resort, wait for someone with more expertise and insight to
guide you to a solution.

Good luck,

Rich

Thank you so much for the help. I think the entire system has problems
and I should have known not to update one OS with another, although SLED
and openSuse are both Novell. I have done a complete installation and it
is running the updates now. I will next need to install a fresh copy of
SQL. I hope this will work and I don't think there will be problems
because I have data backups.
