I installed the perl Crypt::RSA port the other day on my 5.4-RELEASE system. When I try to run a small perl script just to generate an RSA keypair, I get a perl core dump. There are a lot of prereqs that get installed with Crypt::RSA, so no doubt there's much opportunity for a problem with some library somewhere. But I don't know where to begin looking. Subsequently, I installed Crypt::DSA and I haven't had a similar problem with it. So I assume it's not the Math::Pari library, which is used by both the RSA and DSA packages, that's causing my problem. Similarly for other packages that both Crypt::RSA and Crypt::DSA make use of. I'm just throwing this out here in case someone on this list has already run into the same problem. I realize this is likely not a FreeBSD problem at all. I haven't tried even installing Crypt::RSA on a non-FreeBSD platform, precisely because it's a mess given all the dependencies. But the FreeBSD port installs quite smoothly. (I just wish the software would work!). Thanks.
