[lug] perl/Tk question

[arnie]

Hi Chip,
Well, I tried your suggestion, and instead of getting the error that it
cannot find Tk.pm in the directories pointed to by @INC, I get the
folllowing:

Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux/auto/Tk/Event/Event.so'
for module Tk::Event:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux/auto/Tk/Event/Event.so: undefined
symbol: PL_stack_max at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.00502/i386-linux-thread/DynaLoader.pm line 168.

 at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux/Tk.pm line 15
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux/Tk.pm line 15.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/arnie/bin/test_tk.pl line 3.


I'm guessing that my install of perl/Tk is not correct. I installed the
perl-Tk-800.015-1.i386.rpm from rpmfind.net, but I guess it doesn't like the
way Caldera is set up. I have also tried using push in a BEGIN block to get
the path into @INC, but get the same results as above.

I think I'll uninstall the rpm, and try another install with the tar file,
though my first attempt at that didn't yield much either. If there is
anything in the above that shows what the problem is, please let me know.
thanks,
arnie sherman
