I tried rebuilding rmagic....and got error messages.

I then removed rmagic and tried to both rebuild it and reinstall it, but apparently the package points to an older version of perl (5.8.1)� than the version that� comes with OS10.4 (5.8.6) This is the error I get when I try to reinstall rmagic now:

Failed: Internal error: node for perl581-core already exists
Is there any way around this, or do I need to wait for 10.4 packages?

Thanks.



What happens if you try the methodology from http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/comp-general.php?phpLang=en#node-exists ?

Yes, the rebuild might be the fix. I tried to install perl584-core and ended up with this problem at first:

lib/Math/BigInt/t/bare_mbf...........ok
lib/Math/BigInt/t/bare_mbi...........ok
lib/Math/BigInt/t/bare_mif...........ok


And then ultimately got this:

Do you think now that I should rebuild Report Magic, and if I I rebuild it, will I completely lose my config files for it? They were a little tough to set up in the first place

Thanks,

I'd say it looks like you need the rebuild--back up your config files somewhere safe and then see if you can reuse them.
