For what it's worth, I came across a similar problem the other day.
Basically, the (probably flaky) way that PP.pm guesses at the location
of typemap files seems to fail on OS X.
The line
my $_rootdir=$Config{installprivlib}."/ExtUtils/";
is *not* finding typemap in any of the subdirs.
I ended up hardcoding the location to the correct ExtUtils dir after
finding it eventually:
# try hardcoding for the moment
my $_rootdir="/System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/ExtUtils/";
There should be a better (fully platform independent) way using one of
the Config vars or using the value of @INC or some such, maybe
somebody skilled in the art can enlighten us.
Hope that helps,
Christian
