>Release: FreeBSD 3.0-980518-SNAP i386
>Environment:
I did a fresh install of 3.0-980518-SNAP on my new PPro-based
machine, and included Perl5 from the ports collection. I have
not had time to change the environment much, so it should match
what anyone would get by doing an install off current.freebsd.org.
Perhaps it is significant that I booted off the 2.2.6 CD to do
the install, although all I did was use FTP as the install media.
>Description:
Any attempt to run Perl5 gets an error message about not
being able to find some library (libnet-something, I think).
Unfortunately I managed to fix the error and lose the error
message before typing this up.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install the snap. Include Perl5. Try to run 'perl -v'.
>Fix:
I just went into the perl5 directory in the ports source,
and remade it. It seems to be working fine now.
Note: This weekend is my first attempts to do a FreeBSD
install, and I'm starting with 3.0 because I'll be very
interested in SMP support. Apologies if this isn't as
detailed as it could have been...
Also note: when replying, it might be better to send to
gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu, as that's still my main machine
for doing email.
