symbolic link or just cp the /usr/local/bin/perl into /usr/bin - I'd
rather not have to go through cleaning up the installation I now have to
re-install over the standard Apple location.
Apple things DO use /usr/bin/perl, like for example some postinstall scripts. The Quicktime 6.0.2 update uses some perl that breaks under 5.8 (they may have fixed the installer by now, but the first version broke)
Can't exec "perl": No such file or directory at /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm line 216.
A quick symbolic link fixed the problem... this time.
I guess I could remove the /usr/local/bin installation and go for the /usr/bin version. Anybody know an easy way to remove the /usr/local/bin/perl install? What have others done, write over the Apple version or make links and copies of 5.8 in the standard locations? Or do you just rearrange your $PATH so /usr/local/bin comes first and leave the 5.6 install alone?
Thanks, Jim
