Question

Why can't Perl's Class::XSAccessor find Array.so?

Answer 1

LATE UPDATE 2009-12-04

The current version of Class::XSAccessor contains both Class::XSAccessor itself and Class::XSAccessor::Array. It does not use AutoXS.pm to generate AutoXS.h any more but ships a static copy. Therefore, the problem giving rise to the question shouldn't occur (ever) again.

While Chris Simmons' idea is a good one, this is most certainly not the problem you're having. It is most likely an incompatibility between the version of Class::XSAccessor::Array you're using and the AutoXS::Header version it was compiled with.

A practically guaranteed* fix would be to reinstall Class::XSAccessor from CPAN. It should pick up a compatible version of AutoXS::Header. Maybe you should also post on the SlimDevices/Logitech forum about this.

On a more general note, as the author of both modules in question, I'm not sure why this problem is occurring at all. The dependency on version 1.02 of AutoXS::Header is part of the most recent Class::XSAccessor::Array release. Therefore, if dependencies are met correctly, everything should be fine. It may be some peculiarity of how the SqueezeCenter folks update their bundled modules. If not, feel free to get them in touch with me.

*The one problem remaining may be that the Class::XSAccessor::Array that comes with SqueezeCenter is prefered over the one you installed from CPAN (potentially into the system). In that case, you can try to install it into your /opt/squeezecenter.../CPAN directory.

Thanks for the quick response. I will also post it on the SlimDevices/Logitech forum, but initially I was not sure if this was purely a squeezecenter issue due to the error message.

Please don't get me wrong. I don't want to be finger-pointing. It's not necessarily purely a SqeezeCenter issue. It does look like it is to me, but if it turns out it's not, I'll be more than happy to work with whomever to fix it.

Oh, I definitely did not take it the wrong way! To be honest, I just did not know where to start looking as I did not know if the problem was with ld.so.1 or perl modules or neither one. I am not that familier with compiling and linking etc.

+3 A:

Reinstall the offending module. Run this as root:

cpan -i Class::XSAccessor::Array Class::XSAccessor

Or manually install it.

Please link to the module in a version-agnostic way. Either to the distribution via http://search.cpan.org/dist/Class-XSAccessor-Array or via http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Class::XSAccessor::Array. The link to version 1.04 will go bad when I release newer versions and clean up my CPAN directory.

tsee 2009-06-21 18:06:39

Done. Though, to be fair, most people would have used the cpan command.

scvalex 2009-06-21 18:15:33

There's no need for the extra typing in that command. Without any switches, cpan(1) assumes the -i switch. :)
