Re: Event::Lib fails install test (cpan -t)

[syphilis]

Can't load '/root/.cpan/build/Event-Lib-1.03/blib/arch/auto/Event/Lib/Lib.so' for module Event::Lib: libevent-1.3d.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

'/root/.cpan/build/Event-Lib-1.03/blib/arch/auto/Event/Lib/Lib.so' can be found - but it can't be loaded because 'libevent-1.3d.so.1' can't be found. I'm not a *nix person, so I'm unsure of the fix. Is it simply a matter of running ldconfig (from the command line) as root ?

Cheers,
Rob

Thanks Rob, '/root/.../Lib/Lib.so' is there. Not being to familiar my self, I just tried:

ldconfig  root/.cpan/build/Event-Lib-1.03/blib/arch/auto/Event/Lib/Lib
+.so

When re-running cpan -t Event::Lib, I still get the following:

t/01_event-lib...................Can't load '/root/.cpan/build/Event-L

Funny :) auto/Event/Lib/Lib.so can't find libevent-1.3d.so.1
