Hi Tim,

Thanks a billion for your suggestion. I have installed
a newer verion of perl(5.00502) on the Unix machine
running Solaris 2.5.1. Then the user got another error
like below.

Can't load
'/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/sun4-solaris/auto/Sybase/DBlib/DBlib.so'
for module Sybase::DBlib: ld.so.1:
/usr/local/bin/perl5: fatal: relocation error: file
/opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/sun4-solaris/auto/Sybase/DBlib/DBlib.so:
symbol Perl_Xpv: referenced symbol not found at
/opt/perl5/lib/5.00502/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line
168.

Do you have any idea? I have traced DynaLoader.pm on
line 168 but seems very difficult to follow.

Thanks again anyway,
Pet
