Perl-Tk module - relocation error Steven Feil 12-02-2004

 I download a script called Easy Connect GPRS
(http://easyconnect.linuxuser.hu/modules.php?name=index). This is a
Perl script that utilizes Tk. I did not have Perl-Tk installed on my
computer so I download the RPM package and installed it.

The first time I attempted to run the script I received the following
error

Can't locate Tk.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .)
at ./gprsec line 44.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./gprsec line 44.

I found that my perl-Tk package installed Tk.pm in the directory
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/.

So I edited the script. In the line before
use Tk;
I added the line
use lib '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi';

Now when I attempt to run the script I get the error
/usr/bin/perl: relocation error:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Tk/Event/Event.so
: undefined symbol: Perl_Gthr_key_ptr

I have verified that this file was installed as part of perl-Tk but I
don't know what to try next.

you have more than one version of perl on your machine. you cannot mix
the two. as this is lnux try:
locate perl|grep bin

this should show you the perl binaries that are availble. modify the
script of the gprsec program so that it uses perl 5.8.0.

OR

you can always install TK.pm into your perl 5.6.0 if this is a better
option for you.

Yes, Thanks, I see now. I installed a Perl Module that was not
compatible with the version of Perl I was using. I'll need to find a
perl-tk module that is compatible with my current version of Perl.
