this is making DB_File perl module! === perl Makefile.PL Parsing config.in... Looks Good. Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Note (probably harmless): No library found for -ldb Writing Makefile for DB_File === make works fine === === #make test PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/db-btree....Can't load '/.cpan/build/DB_File-1.815/blib/arch/auto/DB_File/DB_File.so' for module DB_File: ld.so.1: perl: fatal: relocation error: file /.cpan/build/DB_File-1.815/blib/arch/auto/DB_File/DB_File.so: symbol db_version: referenced symbol not found at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 230. at t/db-btree.t line 39 Compilation failed in require at t/db-btree.t line 39.
