Yep, that fixes it, thanks! I suspected something with the "+" being
interpreted as regex, but my perl
skills were too rusty to take me any further. I could not reproduce it on 10.7
either, or 10.6 AFAIR
(can't check right now), and had libsigc++2-2.2.8 installed on 10.5/ppc, but
trying to rebuild it there
(without your patch) just produced the same error; so I seem to have it built
there with an earlier fink
version before this became broken. And then it apparently depends on the system
perl version how
it handles this (5.8.8 vs. 5.10+).
Thanks again,
Derek
