All, Can anyone suggest the BEST way to get a working perl on iMac (17") and X 10.3.5? I am attempting to install Spam Assassin but have run into issues with dependencies:
For example CPAN install MIME::Base64 dies with the following. Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Writing Makefile for MIME::Base64 cp Base64.pm blib/lib/MIME/Base64.pm cp QuotedPrint.pm blib/lib/MIME/QuotedPrint.pm /usr/bin/perl /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/ExtUtils/xsubpp -typemap /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/ExtUtils/typemap Base64.xs > Base64.xsc && mv Base64.xsc Base64.c cc -c -g -pipe -pipe -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN -no-cpp-precomp -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -Os -DVERSION=\"3.05\" -DXS_VERSION=\"3.05\" "-I/System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE" Base64.c Running Mkbootstrap for MIME::Base64 () chmod 644 Base64.bs rm -f blib/arch/auto/MIME/Base64/Base64.bundle LD_RUN_PATH="" MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -L/usr/local/lib Base64.o -o blib/arch/auto/MIME/Base64/Base64.bundle ld: can't locate file for: -lbundle1.o make: *** [blib/arch/auto/MIME/Base64/Base64.bundle] Error 1 /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK I don't really get why this is not working, I have updated pather to the nth degree and installed xcode which has also be updated, and I don't get why this error is occurring?! I am installing as root. Arrgh! Any thoughts are appreciated -- Martin M. ___________________________________________________________________ AnotherSphere.net communications - infrastructure - database - 4D - MacOS One accurate measurement ... ... is worth a thousand expert opinions - Grace Hopper [1942] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
