howdy, I've been trying to install perl on my machine using the ports tree. I've used CVSup, then I cd'd to /usr/ports/lang/perl5, then I type "make install clean." It works up to the point where the FreeBSD patches are applied, then it says, "2 out of two hunks failed, saving rejects to Configure.rej." Now, a few details about my machine's hardware: it's a cobbled-together 133-mhz machine with only 8 megs of ram (well, for the time being). and I'm managing to run X on it (which I know is cutting it pretty damned short). When I posted this question to the list a little while ago, someone suggested that it might be my lack of ram that's causing the problem. However, when I leave X and try to make install clean, I get the same error message. I'm still pretty new to FreeBSD, but I've managed to install other ports that seem to be much more memory and CPU-intensive than perl. If the lack of ram's the problem, then I'll wait a few weeks until I can buy some more. However, if there's another suggestion on how I might get perl up and running, so much the better. Thanks in advance for your help! --Alissa running 2.2.7 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
