Unable to load module gpranoto 03-16-2006

Hi,

I had to do a workaround during installation of a Perl module. Since
the client's machine does not permit installation of a C compiler, I
had to compile the module on another machine running the same OS and
Perl. I copied the pm file and directory under lib and auto. This
method seems to work. However it works only for the user who is the
owner of the *.pm and module directory under auto. When trying to run
a script using the module as a different user it gave me this error

Can't load
'/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.0/aix-thread-multi/auto/Essbase/Essbase.so'
for module Essbase: The file access permissions do not allow the
specified action. at
/usr/opt/perl5/lib/5.8.0/aix-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 229.
at test_scb.pl line 27
Compilation failed in require at test_scb.pl line 27.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test_scb.pl line 27.

Has anyone seen anything similar to this?

Regards,
Gerd

If you'll excuse the blindingly obvious, have you checked the
permissions on
/usr/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.0/aix-thread-multi/auto/Essbase/Essbase.so
(both the file and the directories)?

Yes. Actually those are the first things I checked. Changed file and
directory permissions to 777. The error above came up after I changed
the permissions.

What things? Please quote sufficient contrext.

This may be some weird AIX security thing. Perhaps it refuses to
execute globally writable files.

Hi,

We finally solved the problem. You were right, it was due to
permissions. We overlooked the permission of some of the libraries not
located under perl. Once set to 755, it started working. Thanks for
your replies.

Regards,
Gerd
