DA Exim script Broken

[ReN]

Greets all,

the scripts DA provides for exim updates works great for 4.62
but has problems with shared libraries when i goto update it to 4.66

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libperl.so" not found, required by "exim"

Revert back to 4.62 and off it goes.

OS = FreeBSD 6.0

any ideas??

Hello,

I believe the cause (which is rather contradictory) is that the correct OS is being used... What I mean by that can be shown by the "ls -la" output from the contents of our files server:

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root       32 Jan 14  2006 da_exim-4.60-1.tgz -> ../freebsd5.1/da_exim-4.60-1.tgz
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root       32 Apr  5  2006 da_exim-4.61-1.tgz -> ../freebsd5.1/da_exim-4.61-1.tgz
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root       32 Jul 30  2006 da_exim-4.62-1.tgz -> ../freebsd5.1/da_exim-4.62-1.tgz
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root       32 Aug  1  2006 da_exim-4.63-1.tgz -> ../freebsd5.1/da_exim-4.63-1.tgz
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   533236 Aug 26  2006 da_exim-4.63-2.tgz
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   542030 Jan 10 01:52 da_exim-4.66-1.tgz

As you can see, version 63-1 and older are actually using the 5.1 binaries, while 63-2 are newer are compiled specifically for FreeBSD 6.

What does this mean? Well, it means that systems are rather inconsistent in where the perl libraries are, so no one package will be correct for all OSs (rather frustrating).

As for fixing it, try using the 5.1 binaries instead:

as they are the ones being used anyway for the older 6.x binaries.

Of course, doing an on-system compile is always the safer solution, as it's always custom built for your OS:
