Do you have an existing parrot installation already? If so, the installed library could be conflicting with running this copy of out the build directory... Remove the installed version and try again? On Thu, Mar 13, 2008 at 9:08 AM, via RT moritz @ casella. faui2k3. org [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Regex syntax

2008-03-13 Thread Moritz Lenz
I have two questions/suggestions regarding regex syntax: 1) The :ii modifier is influenced by :sigspace modifier. IMHO this is ugly, because the matching part and the replacement part of a regex should be as orthogonal as possible. Therefore I'd like a different syntax for :ii :sigspace, maybe

[perl #50056] [BUG] Undefined symbols on OS X: auto::readline throwing warnings during configuration

This thread petered out after January 30, which was fine with me because we couldn't diagnose why Allison's proposed patch was causing Configure.pl to throw warnings on Darwin (OS X 10.4.11, ppc, gcc-3.3) at config/auto/readline.pm. Configure.pl quietly did its thing for me for the next 6 weeks.
