OK this is a little bit of a development question, but perhaps someone out there knows the answer! I upgraded (as in overwrote - burned the bridges behind me) my old default install of perl from apple 4.6.0 (on Mac OS X 10.1.5) with the latest perl 5.8.0. The compile seemed to go fine. There was a failure for the db application, but this is apparently old knews and perl knew it would fail as Apple has used a very old verison. As I don't have that many perl modules and I had read that the installation process sometimes has trouble overwriting old files, I deleted /Library/Perl and /System/Library/Perl and did a make install. Now when I attempt to run fink, I get the error message:
sudo /sw/bin/fink update-all Password: dyld: perl Undefined symbols: _Perl_safefree _Perl_safemalloc _Perl_saferealloc _Perl_sv_2pv _perl_call_sv _perl_eval_sv _perl_get_sv I realized that the new perl is not binary compatible with the old perl, but I didn't think I had any binary perl libraries that were from the old version (after all I deleted them). Any idea of a fix? Is this just a question of manually deleting a dylib somewhere and doing another make install? I really don't want to have to downgrade to fink 5.6.0 (or 5.6.1) if possible. This happens for other applications as well, but not all -- makes me think there is an incompatible library somewhere.
