    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to get WWW::Mechanize to login to Yahoo using https; however, it requires the use of Crypt::SSLeay for sending over https.</p> <p>Crypt::SSLeay installed succesfully, and openssl was already installed on the system.</p> <p>However, it gives the error upon loading:</p> <hr> <p><code> Can't load '/home/gen19/perl5/lib/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.10.1/i686-linux//auto/Crypt/SSLeay/SSLeay.so' for module Crypt::SSLeay: /home/gen19/perl5/lib/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.10.1/i686-linux//auto/Crypt/SSLeay/SSLeay.so: undefined symbol: PL_sv_undef at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 229. at /home/gen19/lwp4 line 15 Compilation failed in require at /home/gen19/lwp4 line 15. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/gen19/lwp4 line 15. </code></p> <hr> <p>The installation of Crypt::SSLeay was successful, and could recognize the installation of openssl (here):</p> <pre><code>perl Makefile.PL ======================================================= Only one OpenSSL installation found at /usr Consider running 'perl Makefile.PL --default' the next time Crypt::SSLeay is upgraded to select this directory automatically thereby avoiding the following prompt. ======================================================= Which SSL install path do you want to use? [/usr] /home/gen19/ssldir BUILD INFORMATION ================================================ ssl library: OpenSSL 0.9.8 in /home/gen19/ssldir ssl header: openssl/ssl.h libraries: -L/home/gen19/ssldir/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lgcc include dir: -I/home/gen19/ssldir/include/openssl -I/usr/kerberos/include ================================================ Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lgcc Writing Makefile for Crypt::SSLeay The test suite can attempt to connect to public servers to ensure that the code is working properly. If you are behind a strict firewall or have no network connectivity, these tests may fail (through no fault of the code). Do you want to run the live tests (y/N) ? [N] </code></pre> <hr> <p>NOTE: recently installed Perl v5.10.1 using App::perlbrew, due to LWP::UserAgent's needing it. I installed Crypt::SSLeay using my new version of Perl. </p> <p>I don't have root priveldiges, as I am doing this on a remote server at school. Please tell me why it's giving the error even though it installed succesfully. I know it has something to do with the shared libraries, but the installation recognized them.</p> <p>SIDE NOTE: my script works fine if I don't say "use Crypt::SSLeay;" at the start, but it gives the error when I use https that it's not a supported protocol, and needs LWP::protocol::https installed. Installing that always fails.</p> <p>EDIT: Thanks for your help, CJM. Apparently it was using the old version of Perl when I executed, but now I've fixed that.</p> <p>It doesn't give that error anymore; however, it still says</p> <pre><code>Error GETing https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?&amp;.src=ym: Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported (LWP::Protocol::https not installed) at lwp4 line 14 </code></pre> <p>I thought Crypt::SSLeay was supposed to take care of this.</p>
