i might have finally twigged to what the problem is so others can
tell me if this makes sense.
this project requires all sorts of unpacking and configuring and
compiling and so on, and it comes with a collection of pre-built host
tools -- that is, stuff like perl, python, the autotools and so on.
so you technically don't need to have those tools on your system,
they're available in a directory of the project in binary form, ready
to go and, unless you specify differently, they're the ones that will
be used for all of the processing.
well, if they're valid for a ubuntu 10.04 system, and *my* system is
ubuntu 11.04, then it's entirely possible that they're expecting to
find things like perl modules and symbols in old locations, yes? the
tools that are run to do all this work will, necessarily, be slightly
older versions than the ones that are *installed* on my system, which
strikes me as a perfect recipe for this kind of mismatch.
but there's a possible solution. when one initially configures the
project, one can select that *all* of those host tools will be rebuilt
from scratch. that would obviously take longer and it's not clear it
would solve the problem since they might just be rebuilt with all the
same properties and mismatches.
but that's the situation. argh. thanks for listening.
