This error is lipo complaining that one of the two binary components it's trying to assemble into a universal binary is missing, because it failed to build. You should have gotten an earlier compiler error telling you where the original failure was - the above is the last error. It's *far* more useful to trace errors from first to last, since later errors can be the extended result of earlier ones. You could edit /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Config.pm to remove the "-arch i386" and "-arch ppc" directives from the compiler and linker flags. Your modules will only be built for the native the architecture of the system you're using if you do that, but if they're only going to be used on that system, or on other systems just like it, that won't matter. sherm-- -- Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net
