RE: Installation problems on Linux...

["Mitch Ishihara" <ishihara@xxxxxxxx>]

If you get an error like the following after executing for the first time:

----------
% ./PilotManager

 You do not have the PDA::Pilot Perl module installed on your
 system.  This module is included in the full PilotManager
 binary distribution.  If there is not a binary distribution
 for your architecture, please read 'README.porting' in the
 PilotManager directory.

Can't load
'/home/Pilotmgr/pilotmgr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/auto/PDA/Pilot/Pilot.so' for
module PDA::Pilot: libpisock.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00404/DynaLoader.pm line
166.
----------

It's complaining about not having libpisock.so.3

Try the following:

in '/etc/ld.so.conf'
add the line '/usr/local/lib' (without the quotes) to the end of the file
The above path is the location for libpisock.so.3  So if your libpisock.so.3
is in a different directory, then use that directory instead.

then do an
% ldconf -v >> log

After the command commences, examine the log file for the string
"libpisock.so.3" (without the quotes).  The log should indicate that it was
found, in this case it was in /usr/local/lib.

Here's a little snippet from my log file:
