Fair enough, but, unfortunately, those instructions won't come from me. I won't ever touch the system perl for reasons given earlier, so I won't have any first hand notes for that process. > A lot of the difficulty with this install was > sorting out the non-standard library locations > for everything including perl. Unless you call /usr/local/ as non-standard, not a single install on my MacBook was "non-standard." Not one. I am simply not sophisticated enough to tinker with that. Every library was installed in the install locations set by the make install command as set by the creator of the library.... libs under /usr/local/lib, headers under /usr/local/include, etc. -- Puneet Kishor http://www.punkish.org Carbon Model http://carbonmodel.org Charter Member, Open Source Geospatial Foundation http://www.osgeo.org Science Commons Fellow, http://sciencecommons.org/about/whoweare/kishor Nelson Institute, UW-Madison http://www.nelson.wisc.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Assertions are politics; backing up assertions with evidence is science ======================================================================= _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
