ok so I tried something: -bash-2.05b$ /usr/bin/perl -MMath::GMP -le 'print "ok"' Can't locate Math/GMP.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/ /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/ /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Network/Library/Perl /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.6 /Library/Perl/5.8.1 .). BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. -bash-2.05b$
so I know this one doesn't... and -bash-2.05b$ /opt/local/bin/perl -MMath::GMP -le 'print "ok"' ok means this one has it... so what do I need to do now to stop this double life? l-p [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote ---- On 9/5/07, Louis-Philippe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I tried both fink & macports in the past... > but I don't use any right now, and they left lots of trace in my system... > how would I know if my thing is wrecked? snip Not quite sure, the first thing I would do is say which perl to see which one is being used by the shell (it should be /usr/bin/perl if I remember correctly). Then I would check to see if there is a perl interpreter installed in /usr/local, /opt, or /sw find /usr/local /opt /sw -name perl But I am really just shooting in the dark. I am currently in Linux (and will be for the next few hours), but when I get home I will boot in Mac OS X and see if I can duplicate your problem (I believe I have Fink installed).
