It would appear that your perl library routine called perldb.pl is not
installed where perl can find it. Did you ever do a make install?
Did it get any errors?
The place it wants to put them is defined in config.sh by the privlib
variable. This in turn sets the value of the PRIVLIB symbol to perl, which is
shoved into the @INC array as part of the path to search for perl libraries.
Admittedly, the error message could be better. >>patch9

When I ran Configure, I define my lib directory to be "~/lib/perl". It seems that the ~ was not expanded properly, and I found it in ~/src/perl3.0/~/lib/perl. I am going on vacation this evening, and don't have the time to reconfigure and remake. A simple mv of ~/src/perl3.0/~/lib/perl/* into ~/lib/perl did not solve the problem. So I will try remaking when I come back. Thanks for the prompt reply as well as for developping perl. -- Ran ----------------------------------------------- Reply-To: crehta@taux01.nsc.com (Ran Ever-Hadani) Disclaimer: The above is to be attributed to me only, not to any organization.
