I don't think so. A path issue would lead to an error about a file
not found, something like

% perl -MBio::Tools::PSort::SVMLoc
Can't locate Bio/Tools/PSort/SVMLoc.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Bio::Tools::PSort::SVMLoc module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.24.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.24 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24 /usr/share/perl/5.24 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

but what we have here is:

"… SVMLoc.so: … undefined symbol: _ZN7DataSet12getAttributeEi at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.24/DynaLoader.pm line 187."
