Updated to 3.4.0 and now error

Post by capeschools »

I am running OpenSUSE 11.4 and have had Nagios running for a few years now with no problems and no problems upgrading. I upgraded to 3.4.0 today and now I get the following in the error log:

/usr/sbin/nagios: error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Looking at the system I cannot find the libperl.so file so is this a new requirement? Do I just need to upgrade perl...any help greatly appreciated as I cannot run Nagios at the moment.

Did you compile with the "enabled embedded perl" option?

By the way, there has been a bug fix for the 3.4.0 release, I'd suggest grabbing the 3.4.1 tarball that has been posted.

This is a packaging issue with OpenSUSE then. You should ask the OpenSUSE community for help or file a bug report with them. The problem is that it seems they compiled Nagios against a different version of perl than what you have.

Okay I solved that problem - needed to create a symbolic link to the libperl.so file so that works - thanks !
