perl relocation error

[maslett]

Hi, when I try to run config programs such as drakconf (Mandrake 10.0) I get the following error:

/usr/bin/perl: relocation error: /usr/lib/libDrakX/auto/c/stuff/stuff.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Gthr_key_ptr

I've looked on google but can't any usefull info.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

My system is Mandriva 2006.0, but the same theory applies. The first command tells me what package owns the file it's complaining about, the second command lists all packages with that pattern. Check to make sure that the version numbers all match with the second command:

[todd@tlyons ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libDrakX/auto/c/stuff/stuff.so 
drakxtools-backend-10.3-0.64.3.20060mdk
[todd@tlyons ~]$ rpm -qa drakxtools*
drakxtools-newt-10.3-0.64.3.20060mdk
drakxtools-10.3-0.64.3.20060mdk
drakxtools-backend-10.3-0.64.3.20060mdk

HTH and HAND.

Cheers mrballcb, I found a magazine in my local newsagents that had mandriva 2006 free with it so I hosed my system (there was nothing important or techy on it).

I know it's a drastic way of fixing the problem but in this case it was the easiest (and less hassle).

Thanks anyway.
