[SOLVED] Perl: symbol lookup error - ZCS Patch 7.1.1

I attempted to install the recently released patch for 7.1.1 on a system just updated to Release 7.1.1_GA_3196.RHEL5_64_20110527001604 RHEL5_64 NETWORK edition but I received this error:

perl: symbol lookup error: /opt/zimbra/zimbramon/lib/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/a
uto/Cwd/Cwd.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Gthr_key_ptr

Any ideas on what's causing it and how to solve it?

I manged to post this in the wrong forum. Please move.

I do not see this problem with 7.1.1 latest patch installation.

It seems that the version of perl was upgraded w/ the new distro and new version seems to be incompatible with old.

So would upgrading perl solve this?

What is the perl version you are having?

[zimbra@domain ~]$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

perl -v

This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 1 (v5.12.1) built for x86_64-linux



I think this is my problem.

That's the most likely reason. Where did you get that version from?

Yeah it seems...give a try with 5.8.8.

It was the reason. I'm not sure where it came from, it was installed in /usr/local/bin and since it's before /usr/bin in the path it was causing the problem.

Thanks for the help.
