Hello,
I am new to Macports, trying to install fvwm2 on 10.6. I get the error:
checking for perl... no
configure: error: perl not found; required for xml-i18n-tools
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure:
shell command " cd
"/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_gnome_oaf/work/oaf-0.6.10"
&& ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --mandir=/opt/local/share/man "
returned error 1

khasaak:~ manoj$ which perl
/opt/local/bin/perl
khasaak:~ manoj$ which perl5
/opt/local/bin/perl5
khasaak:~ manoj$ file `which perl`
/opt/local/bin/perl: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
khasaak:~ manoj$ file `which perl5`
/opt/local/bin/perl5: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
The path macport sees (specified in /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf) is
# PATH settings that are used for external tools (configure, make,
etc.) while installing ports. The default
# paths are given in the example; it need not be uncommented.
Customizing binpath is intended for advanced users only.
#binpath
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
so I don't understand why perl cannot be seen by configure.
Has anyone had this problem?
Thanks.
Manoj.
