the problem was that I somehow stopped setting PERL5LIB in my
sessions. The library was there all the time.
Incidentally, I made note of this problem on my weblog and I have
gotten feedback from another fink user that my notes helped him as
well. Perhaps the installation and/or docs are not as solid as we
suspect?
[/Users/paul]:: ls -l `locate Storable.pm`
-r--r--r-- 1 root admin 25910 Dec 1 2001
/Library/Perl/darwin/Storable.pm
-rw-r--r-- 1 paul staff 25910 Dec 1 2001
/Users/paul/src/Storable-1.0.14/Storable.pm
-r--r--r-- 1 paul staff 25910 Dec 1 2001

[/Users/paul]:: echo ${PERL5LIB}
/sw/lib/perl5
I'm going to run fink index 5 times and see what happens.
I'm lobbying for fink to be the package manager for Darwin/OS X:
fixing stuff like this would a pre-requisite.
[/Users/paul]:: grep stable /sw/etc/fink.conf
Trees: local/main stable/main /unstable/main stable/crypto
local/bootstrap
Hmm, I wonder if that leading slash in front of unstable is the
problem? If it is, perhaps a helpful error message (like the one
that says "can't find Storable.pm: install it from fink or cpan
for better results") would be a good idea.
I'm going to run fink selfupdate-cvs and fink update-all again now.
[/Users/paul]:: fink update-all
sudo /sw/bin/fink update-all
