Make sure that you really have only one perl version and all dependent ports use the same version. A simple command may help: - % ls -l /usr/local/lib/perl5 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/local/lib/perl5: total 6 drwxr-xr-x 46 root wheel 3072 23 sep 19:06 5.8.8 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 23 sep 19:06 site_perl /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl: total 2 drwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 512 24 sep 13:53 5.8.8 - You should get directories only for one perl version. If there are others than find out which perl dependent ports were not updated. 2. Make sure that you really don't have that file at your system. Find(1) may help here while locate(1) may have a stale database. 3. Make sure your pkg database doesn't register the meeded file as installed. The following command may give some info: - % grep filename /var/db/pkg/p5-*/+CONTENTS - 4. Compare an output of the command make all-depends-list at both systems for the mrtg port. 5. Not using make clean may give one a trouble. Ex., someone deletted a port by a pkg_delete command but $WRKDIR contains a flag that this port had been installed -- here is a problem! 6. Examine configure.log file for the mrtg port to find out what this port is looking for to determine an existance of the needed port. My customer got a problem after cancelling a port installation at a middle of the process: header files were installed but libraries were not and a port was not registered at a pkg database. But those header files were used by other port's Makefiles to detect if a port is installed...

One of many greatly appreciated suggestions Boris Samorodov wrote: % grep filename /var/db/pkg/p5-*/+CONTENTS While looking in that directory, I noticed the good system had net-snmp-5.2.2_1 The broken system had had the wrong version of net-snmp earlier in the week but I remember doing a deinstall which left no net-snmp distribution at all, possibly the problem. The broken system is newer and the net-snmp5x port there is net-snmp5.3x so I installed that. It did lots of things to perl5.8 but when done, I still had the same problem of wrong files in /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8. The make all-depends-list output from both systems was identical. Finally, more out of frustration than logical procedure, I got an un-updated port of mrtg whose Makefile was dated in 2007. Next, I went to the broken system and for the ten-thousandth time, did make deinstall. A ls -l of /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 verified that mrtg-related files were gone. I then did rm -r on the mrtg port I had been building with and un-tar'd the older mrtg port. make install ran and low and behold, the 5.8 directory in /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl now had the proper list of files. I then put back the newer port of mrtg whose Makefile is dated in June, did a make deinstall and make install cycle and expected to see the problem again. Instead, the perl library changes, most likely based upon the installation of the proper net-snmp package survived and all now appears to be well. Thanks to everybody who helped. This was one of the most puzzling UNIX trouble-shooting adventures I have been on in years.

Wrong Build Environment
After several days of attempting to build mrtg on a FreeBSD6.3 system, I know what is wrong but am not sure what I did to break things nor how to roll back the change. On the broken system, I can deinstall both perl5.8 and mrtg and then do a make install for mrtg which also builds perl5.8 and installs it. When done, I have /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8 but the libraries mrtg needs are not there. Instead, there are very similar files which mrtg is not looking for. On another 6.3 system, I installed mrtg via the same port and it also creates the exact same directory but it contains the correct files. I have not set any environment variables to anything other than the normal settings on either system. Is there a proper way to determine where the make process is going wrong? It is almost certainly some file in /usr/lib that got built wrong that keeps steering the make attempt to populate /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 with the wrong files. Other than that, there are no complaints during the build process. You just can't run the executable because it can't find any of the files it needs. I can't think what bone-head thing I did to cause this, but I've ruled out problems with the mrtg port or perl5.8. I actually built perl5.8 from a slightly older port, once, and got the same results. The port of mrtg is fairly old and was installed successfully on the system that works and also installed successfully on the broken system except it can't find its libraries. Any ideas? Thank you.
