Hi,

I'm sort of stuck, I think, between installations of ndiswrapper and 
upgrades on Arch.  I'm writing this from memory because the workstation 
in question isn't nearby.

When I try to "make" ndiswrapper, it fails in the driver directory.  It 
says that it can't find strict.pm in @INC.  @INC includes ......
and goes on to refer to, I believe perl 5.8.8.

So I check /usr/.../perl5 and I see that only the directories stop their 
listing at 5.8.7:

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     7 2005-12-23 08:56 5.8.0 -> current
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     7 2005-12-23 08:56 5.8.1 -> current
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     7 2005-12-23 08:56 5.8.2 -> current
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     7 2005-12-23 08:56 5.8.3 -> current
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     7 2005-12-23 08:56 5.8.4 -> current
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     7 2005-12-23 08:56 5.8.5 -> current
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     7 2005-12-23 08:56 5.8.6 -> current
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     7 2005-12-23 08:56 5.8.7 -> current
drwxr-xr-x  43 root root  4096 2006-02-11 09:21 current
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root  4096 2006-02-11 09:21 site_perl

So, I'm perplexed about what the best solution is here.  I'm also a bit 
of a novice, so I'm not familiar with the syntax involved to do a couple 
of these things.

It seems like either a) I need to change @INC to point to perl 5.8.7, 
but then will the driver work with the current kernel installed?  or b) 
create a new 5.8.8 and point it at current.  Again, that doesn't seem 
quite right either, and I'm not quite sure how to create the link.

Any advice on how to get out of limbo?

Kind regards.
