You didn't say which version of FreeBSD you're using. I'd guess 2.2.x. What is the output of these commands, % /usr/bin/perl -v % /usr/local/bin/perl -v /usr/bin/perl is probably perl 4.036 (as distributed with FreeBSD 2.2.x systems) and /usr/local/bin/perl is probably 5.00404. Is Gimp using /usr/bin/perl directly or searching your path?

I compiled gimp today (1.1.3) and ran into this problem: it warned me about perl version being older than 5.004, and indeed, when I enter: perl -v I received this: --- *** --- This is perl, version 4.0 $RCSfile: perl.c,v $$Revision: 1.7.2.2 $$Date: 1998/03/12 19:27:47 $ Patch level: 36 Copyright (c) 1989, 1990, 1991, Larry Wall Perl may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic License or the GNU General Public License, which may be found in the Perl 4.0 source kit. --- *** --- but I remembered I've seen perl5 in sysinstall so i looked there and this is what I saw (sorry about the charset, don't know how to change it to this message): ---***--- lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq perl5 qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk x Utilities/modules for the PERL5 language.. x x lqqqqq^(-)qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk x x x [ ] p5-Sort-Versions-1.1 [/usr/ports/devel/p5-Sort-V x x x x [ ] p5-Storable-0.5.3 [/usr/ports/devel/p5-Storab x x x x [ ] p5-Term-ReadKey-2.12 [/usr/ports/devel/p5-Term-R x x x x [ ] p5-Time-970921 [/usr/ports/devel/p5-Time] x x x x [ ] p5-TimeDate-1.08 [/usr/ports/devel/p5-TimeDa x x x x [ ] p5-Tk-402.002 [/usr/ports/x11/p5-Tk] x x x x [ ] p5-TraceFuncs-0.1 [/usr/ports/devel/p5-TraceF x x x x [ ] p5-WWW-Search-1.010 [/usr/ports/www/p5-WWW-Sear x x x x [X] p5-ePerl-2.2.12 [/usr/ports/lang/p5-ePerl] x x x x [ ] p5-libwww-5.20 [/usr/ports/www/p5-libwww] x x x x [X] perl-5.00404 [/usr/ports/lang/perl5] x x x x [ ] pgperl-2.08 [/usr/ports/graphics/pgperl x x x mqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqj x tqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqu x [ OK ] Cancel x mqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqj ---***--- So it looks like I have the Perl 5.004 or newer set up, do I have a thing or two pointing to wrong direction or have I mixed to different things or what ? Everything on gimp compilation went fine, but I found out I can't use any other file extensions but some xfc or something, and script-fu and filters don't work. The only big errormessage I got during configuration was this perl version, so i assume it's the reason. (though it could be that I'm running 2.2.6, don't lose your nerves there :) Anything? pls CC to me. --- Jukka Simila juksi@iname.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
