#17304: Activating perl5 5.8.8_0 failed ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: daviwak-macports@… | Owner: mcalhoun@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: activating | Port: perl5 ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment(by mcalhoun@…): This is very strange. I would suggest uninstalling perl5.8 completely, reinstalling it, and trying again.[[BR]] Since you probably now have two perls installed, you need to use the uninstall with version number:[[BR]] {{{ port installed perl5.8 }}} You will probably see two lines.[[BR]] For each line, run the command {{{ port uninstall perl5.8 @ ... }}} where ... is the full version number (without the "(active)"). Now run {{{ port selfupdate port clean perl5.8 port install perl5.8 port install lablgtk2 }}} Let me know if this solves the problem. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17304#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
