Hi, I'm running debian woody. I installed Perl 5.8 from source (into /usr/local/bin). Now when I use apt-get I get an error, basically my @INC doesn't include the necessary directory. To fix I did:
export PERL5LIB=/usr/share/perl5 How was I supposed to install a new perl to avoid this? below is my error (and fix): thanks Jay meir:/usr/local/src# apt-get install vim Reading Package Lists...
