No, looking closer I see that with perl versions less than 5.008, it just configures without perl. Perl isn't necessary to gaim at all. You may not be able to run homemade perl scripts that way, but it doesn't sound like you were doing that anyway. - cvsupit your ports cvsupit has been gone for some time, and hadn't really worked for a while before that.

Or your ports tree is somewhat old; it's been gone for three months or so, and broken for at least three before that. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

SOLVED: Can't install gaim on FreeBSD 4.x

The answer, short form: Sacrifice Linuxism-infested w33n0rs to the Great God Knuth. Ha! Only kidding. [*] The answer, longer form: Gaim requires perl 5.8 or higher just to be installed - its 'l33t++ custom configurator thingy requires it. The 5.005 that comes with FreeBSD 4.8 is not sufficient. So: - cvsupit your ports - install Perl 5.8.1 (we installed from the package, it works fine) - make install Gaim - make deinstall/make install libatk and libgtk along the way (we did actually have the right versions installed - it just didn't *think* we did) - force install on Gaim (it won't actually let you remove the old version) - put in a symlink from libatk-1.0.so.400 to libatk-1.0.so.200, because the install process trashes the latter. The answer, as just ranted in my LiveJournal: http://www.livejournal.com/users/reddragdiva/106318.html - d.
