SPUG:Curses add on problem

Help please,

  I'm new to the list.  I've been using Perl for 8 years, but at my 
age I tend to forget a thing or two now and then.  I still develop for 
perl under Unix but have a littke TkPerl under my belt.  The Cdk or 
Curses Development Kit gives Curses pretty much all the toys that a 
regular X or M$ window has.  At least it is supposed to have list 
boxes, etc.  I installed the C version of the cdk library. Believe me 
the c-code is ugly to test this.. I tried, but being on SCO Unixware 
7.1 makes compiling code a bit of a pain.  I then followed the Solaris 
notes for adding the Cdk package to perl.. I did the standard packing 
install from CPAN and in trying to run the fulldemo/cdktest I get the 
following error message.

Can't load 
'/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-svr5/auto/Cdk/Cdk.so' for 
module Cdk: dynamic linker: /usr/bin/perl: relocation error: symbol 
not found: acs32map; referenced from:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-svr5/auto/Cd
k/Cdk.so at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00502/i386-svr5/DynaLoader.pm line
168.

 at ./cdkdemo line 11
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./cdkdemo line 11.

I've seen this before and don't remember how I fixed it.  I do 
remember I was working on a module at the time.  Has anybody out there 
ran into this?  Here is the info on my perl.

Summary of my perl5 (5.0 patchlevel 5 subversion 2) configuration:

Characteristics of this binary (from libperl):
  Built under svr5

  %ENV:
    PERL_READLINE_NOWARN=""
  @INC:
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00502/i386-svr5
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00502
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-svr5
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005
    .

Tim told me there were a bunch of perlers over there and he was sure 
one of you could help.  I've also looked at Curses::Forms, but this 
looks a bit more robust in toys you can use.. Any help would be 
greatly appreciated.  If anyone needs DBI help, I'd be glad to help 
anytime.

Thanks,
