Re: installing question
gentoo is a bad distrobution you should remove it and install a sane distrobution. Yours truly 2007/1/9, Jorge Almeida <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I just installed Perl from source. My distribution (gentoo linux) supports Perl, of course, but not every module is supported, and I didn't want to end up with a mixture of supported/hand-compiled modules. So, I chose /usr/local/opt/perl to keep all Perl things. When using ./Configure, I chose the directory /usr/local/opt/perl/modules for modules, although I don't really know what this config choice entails. I installed a few modules, and they didn't end up in /usr/local/opt/perl/modules, but rather in /usr/local/opt/perl (because I used /usr/local/opt/perl as --prefix). I would appreciate some clarification about the "modules" option in Perl's configuration, but it's not really a big problem. The problem is: $ perldoc -f shift sh: /usr/local/opt/perl/bin/pod2man: /usr/local/perl/bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory Got a 0-length file from /tmp/VvSvft3UJp via Pod::Perldoc::ToMan!? Of course, the first line in /usr/local/opt/perl/bin/pod2man is #!/usr/local/perl/bin/perl when it should be #!/usr/local/opt/perl/bin/perl Why is this? I suppose I made some configuration error, but can't guess which. (I know I can solve the problem by creating a symlink /usr/local/perl to /usr/local/opt/perl, but I would like to know what went wrong.) -- Jorge Almeida -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/

Re: installing question
debian. Gentoo has a whole history of open source distrobuters who boycot it. Check out 'gaim' for example. 2007/1/9, Jorge Almeida <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: On Tue, 9 Jan 2007, Arvind Autar wrote: > gentoo is a bad distrobution you should remove it and install a sane > distrobution. > I will follow your suggestion, of course.

%Re: installing question
Hi all, I read this post and I'm concern. why are you saying gentoo is a bad distribution, I dont want to start a fight to know which distribution is the best that is not the point. I just want to know why this: "has a whole history of open source distrobuters who boycot it. Check out 'gaim' for example" And why Jorge say "what brand of windows do you favor?" , I mean windows?? really??? Greetings!!

Re: % installing question

And I don't think there is a problem with having two Perls in the same box. After all, the Perl Configure script is civilized: it detected the original perl binary /usr/bin/perl and asked whether I would like to have it replaced by the new one (which I didn't, of course). Anyway, my setup works, as far as I can tell. The problem I mentioned is either something very obvious for people who usually install from source or else some detail in the developers league. The symlink workaround does the job, but I still would like to know whether I did something wrong...

Re: installing question
Please take the Gentoo discussion somewhere else. This list is for perl beginners to get help, not for silly distribution wars. Go play on Slashdot or something.

Re: %Re: installing question
I don't know anything about Gentoo nor do I care about a debate regarding it. I think the Windows comment though was a simply a clever retort to a pointless post.

It seems that both the sarcasm and the irony preceeding it were lost on the intended destinatary. Let's forget it. Still, I apologize if my comment offended someone. My despise for Windows doesn't extend to people using it, and certainly not to those who are also Perl users.
