Can't install on OSX Tiger
Hi All This is basically a repost of a message that went unanswered several days ago. I would like to install gtk2 on Tiger, but when I do so thru CPAN it fails the vast majority of the tests. What's the next step in trying to resolve this issue? or does it really require either Leopard or at least a newer version of perl? I'm not posting a whole lot of info because I just don't know what's useful in solving the problem. Any comments appreciated, Brian -- All you need to know about Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty -> gconftool -s --type bool /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch false ___ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list

The link you posted in your previous e-mail recommends "Imendio" over using MacPorts. Which way are you trying to do it, via MacPorts or Imendio? How are you fitting Gtk2-Perl from CPAN into all of this? If you need to paste stuff, try a pastebin[1]. For what it's worth, I've compiled MacPorts p5-gtk2-perl on ppc/x86 Tiger and x86 Leopard with no issues. It does use the X11 libs however, which I have installed anyways because I like to forward X apps around.

I chose the Imendio package because I wanted a 'native' app rather than using X11 As I understood it that Imendio package got me Gtk2, but not the Perl bindings to it. I was trying to use CPAN to get those Perl bits. Here's all the output - all the steps previous to this worked fine. http://pastebin.com/m21548cdc Forcing the install didn't seem like the right answer to me.

Lots of test failures are because files in that user's directory do not exist on your machine. > As I understood it that Imendio package got me Gtk2, but not the Perl > bindings to it. > > I was trying to use CPAN to get those Perl bits. One thing about using Apple's Perl; if Apple decides to upgrade it, things could break and there would be nothing for you to do but recompile. For this reason I prefer Perl from MacPorts. Using MacPorts also got me Perl 5.10 instead of Perl 5.8 (by hacking up the Portfile for perl5 IIRC).
