You're somewhat on your own, then; I can't test any of my ideas before suggesting them to you. > Wonder if I just deinstalled the old perl5-5.10 and then installed the > perl5-12 would work. I can do that right from the port: make perl5-12 > first to see if that works, then: > # make deinstall (perl-5.10) then: make install clean I would be surprised if the perl-5.12 port will build for you; I think you'll get the same error. If not, then yes, it should work. > What do you think? I've got to move up because an important perl > program requires a minimum 5.12. Well, it's also possible that there's a local problem on that machine. You indicated that you used portupgrade for similar updates on similarly-aged machines, but I'll guess that they were only roughly similar. I'll guess that you built your own INDEX file; if not, you probably should (and the associated database for portupgrade). Compare the infrastructure in ports/Mk (and maybe /usr/share/mk) with the similar machines that succeeded, and look at the Makefile in perl5.12 to make sure it sets options properly. Good luck. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
