1 Hello,
2
3 I'm having difficulty with a perl module. I have recently installed
4 a stage 1 gentoo system on a pentium pro to be an experimental minimal
5 firewall.
6
7 Upon 'emerge -uDp world' these packages will not build:
8 ebuild N ] dev-perl/Locale-gettext-1.03
9 ebuild N ] sys-apps/help2man-1.33.1
10
11 Here's the error message:
12
13 Source unpacked.
14 Using ExtUtils::MakeMaker
15 Can't locate ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl
16 usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6
17 usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux

26 Help2man needs Locale-gettext, which needs ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.21. So I
27 'emerge =ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.20' and got this message:
28
29 Source unpacked.
30 Checking if your kit is complete...
31 Looks good
32 Writing Makefile for ExtUtils::MakeMaker
33 Test phase [not enabled]: perl-core/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.20
34
35 Install ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.20 into
36 /var/tmp/portage/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.20/image/ category perl-core
37 make: *** No rule to make target
38 `/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux/CORE/config.h', needed by `Makefile'.
39 Stop.
40
41
42 In /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux/CORE/ I see only these files:
43 libperl.so libperl.so.1 libperl.so.1.5.8
44 but no 'config.h'. The files are all linke to:
45 libperl.so -> ../../../../../lib/libperl.so.1.5.8
46
47
48 But in /lib/ there is no libperl(anything)....?
49 yet 'eix libperl' says:
50 sys-devel/libperl
51 Available versions: 5.8.5 ~5.8.5-r1 5.8.6 5.8.6-r1 ~5.8.7
52 Installed: 5.8.6-r1
53
54
55 The only thing I can figure is my minimal USE flags have removed
56 something that is needed. From 'make.conf'
57 USE="-gtk -gnome -qt -kde acl apm hardened kerberos krb4 minimal ssl
58 -alsa -arts -avi -cups -gif -gstreamer -gtk2 -jpeg -kde -motif -mp3
59 -mpeg -ogg -oggvorbis -png -qt -quicktime -spell -vorbis -X -xmms -xv"
60
61 At first I also had '-xml2' for a USE flag setting. I delete that
62 and unmerged perl and build perl again. This did not fix the
63 problem.
64
65 Any ideas, as I've googled around extensively and cannot
66 find any recent discussion on this problem, or any ideas
67 how to fix it.
