I've been Googling around, and found a few having a simular problem, but no solution. I have not updated perl before, so the present version are the one that came bundled with FreeBSD. Here's the last bit of output: -------------------------------------------------------- install -c -o root -g wheel -m 555 /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/work/use.perl /usr/local/bin/use.perl /bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.4/BSDPAN/. install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/work/BSDPAN-5.8.4/BSDPAN.pm /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.4/BSDPAN/BSDPAN.pm /bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.4/BSDPAN/BSDPAN install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/work/BSDPAN-5.8.4/BSDPAN/Override.pm /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.4/BSDPAN/BSDPAN/Override.pm /bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.4/BSDPAN/. install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/work/BSDPAN-5.8.4/Config.pm /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.4/BSDPAN/Config.pm /bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.4/BSDPAN/ExtUtils install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/work/BSDPAN-5.8.4/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.4/BSDPAN/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm /bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.4/BSDPAN/ExtUtils install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/work/BSDPAN-5.8.4/ExtUtils/Packlist.pm /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.4/BSDPAN/ExtUtils/Packlist.pm /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/bin/perl: Undefined symbol "PL_exit_flags" *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8. *** Error code 1 -------------------------------------------------------- This happens both on cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8 + make install clean, and portinstall lang/perl5.8. Both /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 and /usr/local/bin/perl have a minute-fresh changed date. I've tried a rm /usr/local/bin/perl and then making perl a symlink to perl5.8.4, with the same problem. use.perl ports gives the same error. FreeBSD version is now 4.10-RELEASE. I installed the most recent release in may 2001, and have kept it updated since then using cvsup and the instructions on http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html (kernelupgrade and mergemaster). Hope anyone can gice me a clue on this issue. Thanks! -- Axel
