Can't locate loadable object for module Digest::MD5

[Matias Irazoqui]

Hi,
Today I tried to run phylosift, but it keeps giving me the error I paste down here. I've installed the MD5 module via CPAN, so the module is there. I've also tried copying the library in the folders where the perl modules are. Theoretically, Phylosift searches for MD5 and, if it doesn't find it, uses a legacy version that comes within the package, but it keeps telling me it can't locate the MD5 module. I'm working on a CentOS 7.2.1511 server, with Perl 5.16 installed.

Hi Matias,

Yes that module can cause trouble at times.

Have you tried adding the legacy lib path to $PERL5LIB? The command would be something like:

export PERL5LIB=/home/matias/Phylosift/legacy:$PERL5LIB

Let us know how it goes.

Hi Aaron, thanks for replying
I tried adding the legacy lib to the path, but the problem continues. This happens only in the server, I didn't have any trouble running phylosift in my PC. Can it be a Perl problem? I've also tried with different versions of phylosift, but I couldn't get it to work.
