I see in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk (1.312 1999/05/06 12:07:57) that this is due to PERL_VERSION being set to 5.00503, so the test "exists(/usr/bin/perl${PERL_VERSION}" fails because 3.1-RELEASE shipped with 5.00502. Setting PERL_VERSION to 5.00502 in bsd.port.mk resulted in what appears to be a successful MySQL installation. Is there a more appropriate way around this? Is there a reason that PERL_VERSION is set to a version that isn't even in the ports collection? -- $Id: .signature,v 1.3 1998/03/02 22:18:29 j Exp $ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
