Hello

We wonder if anyone has found and resolved a cryptic error that we get
when trying to connect a PosgreSQL 6.5.1 database with perl 5.0053.

First, the perl script....

#! /usr/bin/perl

use Pg;

$conn = Pg::connectdb("dbname=template1");
$result = $conn -> exec("create database pgtest");

When we run this we get the following error message.

Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/i386-linux/auto/Pg/Pg.so' for
module Pg: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/i386-linux/auto/Pg/Pg.so: undefined
symbol: Perl_markstack_ptr at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux/DynLoader.pm at line 169.

at ./test.pl line 3 (which is use Pg;)

We are running Red Hat 6.0 standard installation with PostgreSQL 6.5.1
and the perl interface that came with it. We opted to install the
binaries instead of compiling the source ourselves. We are running Perl
5.0053 that was installed with the system installation.

Thanks

Magnus
