Excellent, no reinstall necessary.

1) Just for fun I went into Storable.pm and manually changed the VERSION string to 2.13. Fink worked ok, but required me to update my indexes, etc.

2) Obviously not a permanent solution, I thought to just replace my 2.16 version with an old 2.13 version and see what happens

3) Did a little googleing and found that this has been an issue related to an OS upgrade -> http://www.tuesdaynight.org/2007/03/14/ fink-1049-boom.html

The solution appears to be to just do a 'force install Storable' within CPAN. What's strange is that CPAN had reported that my version of Storable was up to date. Well, fink works just fine now.


Thanks for the help, Alexander.

Cheers,
Andrew

Did you reinstall "fink" the package or the whole "Fink" distribution?

Have you done any updates to the system-installed Perl stuff? The error message suggests that your "fink" package was built using a different Perl setup.


I completely wiped out any trace of the old Fink distribution and installed this version from scratch. I'm really not sure why it's saying "Storable object version 2.13 does not match $Storable::VERSION 2.16"... a simple 'print Storable->VERSION;' spits out 2.16.

Should I just reinstall Fink again? (Id like to avoid that if possible)


I think the issue is what -fink- thinks the version of Storable should be. So if you installed Fink from the binary installer, then that fink was built on a machine with an earlier Storable. I guess it's not coded to accept a later version of Storable.

You could try reinstalling Fink via bootstrap--this will give you a fink package that knows about the version of Storable on _your_ system.

Follow the instructions on http://www.finkproject.org/download/ srcdist.php?phpLang=en , except don't use the tarball linked there. Download a current one from

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/fink/fink-0.27.1.tar.gz? modtime=1174310282&big_mirror=1

instead. Also, when you're done, you'll need to run "fink selfupdate-rsync" or "fink selfupdate-cvs" to download the package lists.
