#16287: PerlPrimer --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: pst@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: request | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: perlprimer | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Comment(by pst@…): Replying to [comment:13 blb@…]:
Ah, my perl5.8 port is installed with the +shared variant instead of the default like yours, so the paths to Tk.bundle (and other compiled bundles) will be different.
However, that led me to try something and I have found the problem, namely, that perlprimer appears to crash with a perl5.8 which isn't build with the +shared variant. This is unfortunate since ports can't currently cause another to be built with a variant like that (ticket #126). If you really want to get this working you'll need to uninstall all the p5-* ports, perlprimer, and perl5.8, then reinstall perl5.8 with +shared ({{{sudo port install perl5.8 +shared}}}), then finally install perlprimer again.
That fixed it!! I uninstalled everything, installed perl5.8+shared, then perlprimer. MANY THANKS BLB for your help!! Now, will the perl5.8+shared variant screw-up future installs of ports that need perl??? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16287#comment:14> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
