Trying to install some software that looks for perl on my suse 10.1 box.
Because it is an x86_64 box and the perl rpm is an x86_64 rpm the software I am trying to install is looking for
/usr/lib64/perl5
and not
/usr/lib/perl5
which is where the x86_64 perl rpm is actually installed.
Seems like your software is broken (or compiled with a broken perl configuration).
What would I break if I just did something like this?
ln -s /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/lib64/
I don't think anything would break. But you should rather fix your software.
Why is the x86_64 perl rpm installed in /usr/lib and not /usr/lib64?
Because perl uses its own architecture directory: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi It makes no sense to me to complicate things even more by moving part of perl's directory structure from /usr/lib to /usr/lib64.
