ld error while trying to build DBD::TEXIS on RedHat

Hi,

I've got the following response to my attempt to install DBD driver for TEXIS:

Has anybody seen this? Any suggestions?

Never seen anything like that. I would have to guess it's caused by a messed up compiler/linker or corrupted library. Try restoring the Texis libraries from the CD.
