Cannot get the perl client library to work with Couchbase 2.0 on Centos 6.3. It fails instantly when loading, with this error:

> perl -e 'use Couchbase::Client'
Can't load '/usr/local/lib64/perl5/auto/Couchbase/Client/Client.so' for module Couchbase::Client: libcouchbase.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at /usr/lib64/perl5/DynaLoader.pm line 200.
at /usr/share/perl5/Carp.pm line 7
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/share/perl5/Couchbase/Client.pm line 7.
Compilation failed in require at -e line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

This is with perl 5.10 on Centos 6.3 x64.

Installed the Couchbase::Client and all its prerequisites with:
perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Couchbase::Client"'

As for Couchbase server itself and the libcouchbase files, all were installed using "yum" from the Couchbase repo. Packages installed are latest of: couchbase-server, libcouchbase-devel, libcouchbase2, libcouchbase2-core, libcouchbase2-libevent. I checked that libcouchbase.so is installed in /usr/lib64 by libcouchbase-devel-2.0.1-1.

I have no idea what the problem is, or what to do next. The ruby client for Couchbase works on the same system.

Hi, the perl client is not compatible with libcouchbase 2.0

You should either use the embedded libcouchbase which ships with the perl client, or install libcouchbase 1.x

That worked!

"yum install libcouchbase1" from the Couchbase repo, then perl was happy.

Thank you.
