hi I have realized that GDBM_File may not be used unless perl is reinstalled on my system after installing gdbm.
I have installed gdbm and am at the stage where I am reinstalling perl 5.6.1. I have followed at the instructions at http://duke.usask.ca/~dalglb/macosx/Perl_5.6.html I did get perl-5.6.1.tar.gz untared it cd perl-5.6.1 su perl -i.bak -p -e 's|Local/Library|Library|g' hints/darwin.sh sh Configure -des -Dfirstmakefile=GNUmakefile -Dldflags="-flat_namespace" make At make I get at the end: Making utilities .../miniperl -I../lib c2ph.PL Extracting c2ph (with variable substitutions) Linking c2ph to pstruct. .../miniperl -I../lib h2ph.PL Extracting h2ph (with variable substitutions) .../miniperl -I../lib h2xs.PL Extracting h2xs (with variable substitutions) .../miniperl -I../lib perlbug.PL Extracting perlbug (with variable substitutions) .../miniperl -I../lib perldoc.PL Extracting perldoc (with variable substitutions) .../miniperl -I../lib pl2pm.PL Extracting pl2pm (with variable substitutions) .../miniperl -I../lib splain.PL Extracting splain (with variable substitutions) .../miniperl -I../lib perlcc.PL Extracting perlcc (with variable substitutions) .../miniperl -I../lib dprofpp.PL Extracting dprofpp (with variable substitutions) Making x2p stuff You haven't done a "make depend" yet! *** Error code 1 Stop in /Users/Shared/Downloads/perl-5.6.1/x2p. *** Error code 1 Stop in /Users/Shared/Downloads/perl-5.6.1. This all seems bizarre because in the previous step nake depend was run: Updating GNUmakefile... test -s perlmain.c && touch perlmain.c cd x2p; make depend sh ../makedepend MAKE=make echo hash.c str.c util.c walk.c | tr ' ' '\n' >.clist Finding dependencies for hash.o. Finding dependencies for str.o. Finding dependencies for util.o. Finding dependencies for walk.o. echo Makefile.SH cflags.SH | tr ' ' '\n' >.shlist Updating GNUmakefile... Now you must run 'make'. What shall I do?
