I had the exact problem recently, and I found the solution.

1) First, locate your libperl.so file. On my PPC box it was:

[chris(at)mafalda chris]$ locate libperl.so
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/ppc-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so

2) Add that directory to /etc/ld.so.conf

3) run ldconfig (as root)

Then your creatlang statement should work.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Chris
