cannot install Apache2::Request from CPAN

This worked at one time on this machine. Can't do it now,
nor on new similarly configured machines. Any ideas? --mark--

I can build libapreq2-2.12 from source on an i386 machine

Do you have /usr/lib64 in your /etc/ld.so.conf? Been a while since
I've done 64 bit but that always seemed to be the issue. Run ldconfig
if needed after you add it.

Re: cannot install Apache2::Request from CPAN

I still have the problem that I can't install
Apache2::Request from CPAN. Was I not able to do that
before, after installing apr-dev yum packages etc.?

Nope. I added . Same error:

/usr/lib/libdb-4.3.so: could not read symbols: File in wrong
format

$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/lib64
include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
/opt/dell/srvadmin/dataeng/bin
/opt/dell/srvadmin/hapi/bin
/opt/dell/srvadmin/oma/bin
/opt/dell/srvadmin/omsa/bin
/opt/dell/srvadmin/rac5/bin
/opt/dell/srvadmin/rac5/libs
/opt/dell/srvadmin/shared/bin
/opt/dell/srvadmin/sm
/opt/dell/srvadmin/sm/dellvl

?? what is this stuff?

Argh why can't I just use `apt-get`?

Aha, CentOS apparently allows both *.i386 and *.x86_64
packages to be installed simultaneously. I wrote a script
to filter this all out and install the x86_64 ones and it
works to compile from source now.

I still cannot get it from CPAN. I thought I'd been able to
do that. Too bad it's not packaged for CentOS.
