At least, that's what I assume it is.

Yes, it is a known problem.

On encompasserve.org, run:

@gnv$gnu:[lib]gnv_setup.com

then try the MakeMaker tests.  You'll see errors like:

directory [.Recurs.blib]bin.dir changed before chdir, expected dev=306249731 ino de=732880324, actual dev=813760513 ino=65553, aborting. at t/lib/ MakeMaker/Test/
Setup/Recurs.pm line 66

Could someone have a stab at this?


GNV should not be assigning that logical name and later versions than the one they've got there don't. It should be safe just to deassign it.

$ @gnv$gnu:[lib]gnv_setup.com
$ show log bin
   "BIN" = "GNV$GNU:[BIN]" (LNM$PROCESS_TABLE)
$ deassign bin
$ sh log bin
%SHOW-S-NOTRAN, no translation for logical name BIN

I don't think there's much MakeMaker can or should do about it unless you want to put C<$ENV{bin} = undef> in a BEGIN block or something.
