Re: Bug #525: createlang for plperl fails on Tru64 version 4.0F (v 7.1.3)

Thanks for your help. The main problem that was holding me up was that I
wasn't sure what the equivalent of ldd was on Tru64 4.0F (ldd is
available on version 4.0G and higher). I found out odump -Dl
libraryname.so is the closest equivalent on this OS. From that, I
discovered the missing library was Opcode.so. Once I put a link to it in
my dynamic loader search path, everything worked fine.

plperl.so depends on libperl.so; I'll bet that the problem is with
resolving that dependency, not with plperl itself. Check dynamic
loader search paths and so forth to see whether libperl can be found.
ldd or local equivalent might be helpful too, to examine how the
dependency is represented in plperl.so.
