X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 04 Aug 2011 17:23:05 -0000 Hi, This post is related to this Perlmonks discussion: http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=918414 But this particular post has to do with the FBSD part of the thread.... The MakeMaker build hangs in the test: INSTALL_BASE.t In this line, it never seems to return from the run() sub: my $install_out = run("$make install"); If you eliminate this test, everything else works fine and you can carry on with your business. The modules builds fine in the root server where the jails are derived from so I'm guessing it has to do with the way Jails handles that particular make install of Big-Dummy. This is because I've tried to debug this and run() works correctly several times before this line. So it is *very* wierd. But I can't be the only person using the CPAN shell on an Jail !
