Thanks Jeremiah, that worked for the Math::GMP install in fact, I used this post:
http://gmplib.org/list-archives/gmp-bugs/2006-July/000516.html to get it solved. but now... guess what? Net::SSH::Perl still stops its install at the same spot it did before!!! : t/02-buffer......Can't locate Math/GMP.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /Users/leelasheel/.cpan/build/Net-SSH-Perl-1.30/blib/lib /Users/leelasheel/.cpan/build/Net-SSH-Perl-1.30/blib/arch /Users/leelasheel/.cpan/build/Crypt-Blowfish-2.10/blib/arch /Users/leelasheel/.cpan/build/Crypt-Blowfish-2.10/blib/lib /Users/leelasheel/.cpan/build/Digest-HMAC-1.01/blib/arch /Users/leelasheel/.cpan/build/Digest-HMAC-1.01/blib/lib /Users/leelasheel/.cpan/build/Crypt-DES-2.05/blib/arch /Users/leelasheel/.cpan/build/Crypt-DES-2.05/blib/lib /Users/leelasheel/.cpan/build/Digest-SHA1-2.11/blib/arch /Users/leelasheel/.cpan/build/Digest-SHA1-2.11/blib/lib /Users/leelasheel/.cpan/build/Crypt-CBC-2.22/blib/arch /Users/leelasheel/.cpan/build/Crypt-CBC-2.22/blib/lib /Users/leelasheel/.cpan/build/Class-Loader-2.03/blib/arch /Users/leelasheel/.cpan/build/Class-Loader-2.03/blib/lib /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/darwin-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at t/02-buffer.t line 9.

I'm guessing it may have to do with my environment not being configured properly... but what is wrong? that is the question. l-p [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote ---- On Sep 5, 2007, at 5:45 AM, Louis-Philippe wrote: > Hi, > > I was on my way to install Net::SSH::Perl when an error with > Math::GMP stopped me... > I then installed libgmp successfully, tried again... no luck. > then changed a couple of lines in Math::GMP Makefile.PL as written > in this previous mailing : > > http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.macosx/2006/08/msg9995.html > > no luck again... > when I compile I get this with the error: > > env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc -L/opt/local/lib -bundle - > undefined dynamic_lookup -L/usr/local/lib GMP.o -o blib/arch/auto/ > Math/GMP/GMP.bundle \ > -lgmp \ > > /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libgmp.a(mode1o.o) has local relocation > entries in non-writable section (__TEXT,__text) I think your error is here ^^ (the call to ld) > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > make: *** [blib/arch/auto/Math/GMP/GMP.bundle] Error 1 > > any IDEA? > You may want to check the ld documentation to see if you can find that error message. Google produces some interesting output if you search on the ld error string. I think this link might offer some help: http://prlmnks.org/ html/543267.html It unfortunately looks non-trivial. > l-p Jeremiah Foster [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Key fingerprint = 9616 2AD3 3AE0 502C BD75 65ED BDC3 0D44 2F5A E672
