Hi,

I'm getting the following warning every time I run a perl script the uses DBD:

"Can't make loaded symbols global on this platform while loading /opt/ +perl_32/lib/site_perl/5.8.3/IA64.ARCHREV_0-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Syba +se/Sybase.so at /opt/perl_32/lib/5.8.3/IA64.ARCHREV_0-thread-multi/Dy +naLoader.pm line 229."


The DBD module is installed on IA-64 machine with Perl 5.8.3 as the base installation. The odd thing is that it works flawlessly (no warning) on the older PA-RISC.

Any idea how to fix this issue? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Andrew

If you get no helpful replies here, take this quetion over to www.perlmonks.com where there is a large base of knowledegable perl users. Personally I have no idea how to answer your question.

Are the two modules the same version? The next thing to check is if one machine has a bad install of the module itself. Try re-installing.

There might be something wacky with how the Sybase shared objects were installed.

ldd /opt/perl_32/lib/site_perl/5.8.3/IA64.ARCHREV_0-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Sybase/Sybase.so

libsybct.so => /sybase/OCS-15_0/lib/libsybct.so

I also tried re-installing DBD::Sybase in both the 32 bit and 64 bit builds using the 'perl Makefile.PL -r=buildXX' where XX is the bit depth. Unfortunately the 'Can't make loaded symbols...' warning came up for both builds during the 'make test' session.
