Dear all,
How are you? I hope all is well with you. I need help please. I recently ran
into trouble with a command-line tool called ‘help2man’:
HELP2MAN starpu_env.1
Encode.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got handshake key
0x10200080, needed 0xfb80080)
I assume, this happens because I have multiple Perl installations on my system:
Apple’s, MacPorts’ and my own compiled from source.
When I look at all possible port variants for help2man I see:
sudo port variants help2man
Password:
help2man has the variants:
perl5_28: Use MacPorts perl5.28
* conflicts with perl5_30 perl5_32 perl5_34 perl5_36 perl5_38
perl5_30: Use MacPorts perl5.30
* conflicts with perl5_28 perl5_32 perl5_34 perl5_36 perl5_38
perl5_32: Use MacPorts perl5.32
* conflicts with perl5_28 perl5_30 perl5_34 perl5_36 perl5_38
[+]perl5_34: Use MacPorts perl5.34
* conflicts with perl5_28 perl5_30 perl5_32 perl5_36 perl5_38
perl5_36: Use MacPorts perl5.36
* conflicts with perl5_28 perl5_30 perl5_32 perl5_34 perl5_38
perl5_38: Use MacPorts perl5.38
* conflicts with perl5_28 perl5_30 perl5_32 perl5_34 perl5_36
universal: Build for multiple architectures
Would it be possible to provide another help2man variant that would use
perl5_40?
This brings me to a more general question. Is one version of perl5_XY enough to
power all other MacPorts that depend on a Perl port or do we really need
perl5_34 for one port A and perl5_36 for another port B? Is it possible to
bring ‘law and order’ into a MacPorts installation and say: “Dear ports, please
use the one and only Perl port v5.40?” I’m sure someone sometime ago has
already asked this question, but I didn’t understand the answer that time.
Thank you for your help and have a wonderful day ahead!
