[redland-dev] Using Perl Bindings on Shared Host

[Chris Murphy]

Hello,
I've written a simple perl script using the librdf bindings, and it works 
fine (and as expected) from the shell. My problem is that I am attempting to 
use it as a CGI, on a shared webhost. That host did not have redland 
installed, so I compiled it from source, along with the bindings. The 
problem is that initially the script refuses to run at all, citing that it 
can't find RDF/Redland.pm as expected. I solved this problem by adding some 
-I /home/myStuff/... parameters to the shebang line.

The problem that eventually stops me dead in my tracks is that DynaLoader 
doesn't seem able to find librdf.so.0 when it goes to load the CORE modules 
(specifically on line 7 of CORE.pm). I've tried putting the path in a -I 
parameter, I've tried setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the environment, I've tried 
playing with @dl_library_path for DynaLoader, though I'm sure I wasn't doing 
that correctly. I'm not 100% sure that I've successfully set LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
for the cgi, but I've tried several times, including a few ways inside of 
the perl script itself (before use 'RDF::Redland'). Does anybody know the 
'right' approach to solving this?

Again, the script works fine from the command prompt by setting 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but I can't make it work as a CGI. I'm new to Perl (but it 
seems to be the only possible language given my hosting situation) but 
relatively experienced otherwise. Thoughts?
