Hi,
Does anyone know how to fix this:
I am trying to install a couple of modules PerlMagick for one. The
error I
keep getting on all three of them is:
lipo: can't open input file:
/var/folders/LH/LHR2wOKBHPif1NtQky7mbZorFD2/-Tmp-//ccrI61Hv.out (No
such
file or directory)
make: *** [Magick.o] Error 1
The default Perl is configured to build XS modules as universal
binaries,
but a library you're linking against (probably ImageMagick) is not
built as
a UB. 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.
***No***, don't modify Config_heavy.pl (or any other file in /System)
manually. Use the ARCHFLAGS environment variable instead. See:
