How can you determine what Perl module is causing “undefined symbol: Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr?”

Question

I\'m trying to run a Perl script, but it is returning:

/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/groundwork/perl/lib/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-

Answer 1

I have similar problem many times when I use old perl Module on new CentOS (for example CentOS 6.4).

/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /home/sonnn/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Cwd/Cwd.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr

/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /home/sonnn/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/version/vxs/vxs.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr

I have resolved these problems by:

• Download sources code of Cwd, version from http://search.cpan.org/ and re-install them

    # tar -xzf version-0.9906.tar.gz
    # cd version-0.9906
    # perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=/home/sonnn/perl5/
    # make
    # make install
  
    (If you use default module path, you can omit "INSTALL_BASE=/home/sonnn/perl5/")
  

• Do similarly for other modules

In your case, I think you can download IO module from http://search.cpan.org/ and re-install it.
