I am having problems installing perl5.8.8 on a up-to-date FreeBSD-6.2.
After running...

web# cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8
web# make
scripts install perl...

web# make test
(8) tests fail with the following message

...something about you may need to set dynamic library search path,
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the build directory;
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH `pwd`:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH; cd t; ./perl harness
###   LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH; cd t;
./perl harness
###   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH; cd t; ./perl harness

so I cd in t
web# cd /var....lang/perl5.8/work/perl-5.8.8/t
web# ./perl harness
web# /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libperl.so" not found,
required by "perl"

tried TEST too.. with same results
web# ./TEST
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libperl.so" not found, required by "perl"
web# pwd
/var/ports/basejail/usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/work/perl-5.8.8/t
web# ./perl -I../lib harness
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libperl.so" not found, required by "perl"
web#

I am really clueless to why this is failing or even how to setenv
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
I could really use some help.

ps.. I have spent all day googling
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libperl.so" not found, required by "perl"
as well as variation of this message.

Thanks
Don
