I think that I upgraded the kernel from Current in the last few days, and pacman -Syu didn't update perl at the same time. Compiling the kernel here wouldn't seem to offer much, because the perl installation would remain the same.
Who, where or what sets the @INC, though? This system isn't otherwise connected to the internet. It is a wireless desktop PC using a PCI wireless card that isn't supported by any of Linux drivers, so ndiswrapper is the way I have to go. Since I am not connected to a wired connection, I keep the source for nidswrapper on the PC, install Arch from CD-ROM, rebuild ndiswrapper and I'm usually up and going. I can't comment on the ndiswrapper in extra except to say I can't get to it without building ndiswrapper on my workstation first. And, unfortunately I can't reinstall perl until ndiswrapper is built. Sort of a catch 22, eh? Is there a way to kludge the perl versions so that ndiswrapper can be recompiled? _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
