Perl symbol lookup error

[cyberax]

Hi,

I'm trying to use Cacti to monitor ESXi, and I'm getting empty graphs. After some digging, I found out that when running the specific perl script as root, it is working fine, but when running as cacti web user (www-data), I get the following error.

/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl/5.14/auto/XML/LibXML/Common/Common.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Gthr_key_ptr

Does anybody know how to solve that?

Thanks,

My first quess would be to check for differences in the $PATH environmental variable for the two users.

Thanks! It looks like the PATH for root contains /root/perl5/bin. What I have found is that it looks like PERL modules were installed in /root/perl5 so that only root has access to them. Can you tell me how to install modules for all users?

I would say: follow the procedure for you distrobution. What distribution are you using? For Debian, something like

Code: Select all

apt-get install perl

.
