HI Bill; Thanks for your reply. I'll point to /opt/local/bin/perl5.36 in my scripts. Thanks, Ken

The layout of perl's components allows you to have multiple independent versions installed without interfering with each other. In theory.

Mystery running pip in destroot phase
Hi,
I'm running into a mystery trying to install from a python source tarball using
pip, in the destroot phase of a port. That sounds like a question for the -dev
ML; I'm posting it here because I think it's really a question about python.
I have this snippet of portfile code:
{{{
destroot.cmd${prefix}/bin/pip-${python.branch}
destroot.args --no-deps --no-cache-dir -I --root ${destroot} \
${distpath}/${distfiles}
destroot.post_args
pre-destroot {
system "printenv"
system "${destroot.cmd} install --user setuptools"
}
}}}
The first few lines ensure that pip is run with `--no-deps --no-cache-dir -I`
on the source tarball, installing under the $destroot "distribution" dir. The
`pre-destroot` step prints out the environment and then attempts to make
certain that a copy of the setuptools are available (redundant, but see below).
I get this output, omitting the output from `printenv`:
{{{
Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in
/opt/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages (60.2.0)

[end of output]
note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem
with pip.

× pip subprocess to install build dependencies did not run successfully.

╰─> See above for output.

}}}
The 1st line indicates that pip finds `setuptools`, in a new-enough version.
Yet when the actual install is attempted an error is raised that this very
package cannot be found.
This seems to hinge on the fact that "base" sets the $HOME directory to a
temporary (sandboxed) one under the port's work directory.
Any experienced Python users on this list who have an idea what's going on? I
get the same error when I omit `--no-deps`.
Thanks,
R.
