perl-5.8.1-1 problem

2003-08-28 Thread Lester Ingber
I just updated packages from rcn.net.  The new perl-5.8.1-1 failed
when running pt with

perl.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point __getreent could not be located in the dynamic link library 
cygwin1.dll.

I went back and reinstalled perl-5.6.12 and everything seems to be
working again.

Lester

This perl is a test release which requires cygwin-1.5.3.

Gerrit,

I'm having the same problem. I updated in my normal way using setup.exe. I
did not have the Exp radio button checked and am using 1.3.22. It seems like
I shouldn't get this until 1.5.3 is the Curr. I'm I missing something?

 Pete

PS

Sorry for the private email Gerrit

This is my fault.  I somehow made 5.8.1 the default.  I've fixed this now
but it will take a while to propagate to mirrors.

Re: perl-5.8.1-1 problem: TW.dll is 182 megabytes

I suffered from that problem, so I re-ran setup, which reasonably
replaced version 5.8.1 with 5.8.0-4.  However, the installation is
taking forever -- the setup screen shows that it's copying the file
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int/auto/Encode/TW/TW.dll, and
that file seems to be growing without bound (it's at 182 megabytes as
I write this).

I too worked around the problem by backing off to perl 5.6.1.

Re: perl-5.8.1-1 problem: TW.dll is 182 megabytes

Hallo Eric,

 I suffered from that problem, so I re-ran setup, which reasonably
 replaced version 5.8.1 with 5.8.0-4.  However, the installation is
 taking forever -- the setup screen shows that it's copying the file
 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int/auto/Encode/TW/TW.dll, and
 that file seems to be growing without bound (it's at 182 megabytes as
 I write this).

Strange, anyway, this is a new problem

setup.ini (mirrors.rcn.net) is also wrong:
version: 5.8.0-4
install: release/perl/perl-5.8.0-4.tar.bz2 2289664
source: release/perl/perl-5.8.0-4-src.tar.bz2 11554916

install: should be 6.5M not 2.2M
