This isn't a problem but more of a one-time-annoyance. Right at the beginning of the buildkernel stuff, the make runs "perl5" on a couple of things. Further on it uses "perl" for other stuff. On my system, I removed all the old FreeBSD perl stuff. Apparently buildkernel doesn't include /usr/localb/bin as part of its path so it didn't find /usr/local/bin/perl5. Basically, it failed. Easy fix of simply adding a symlink of /usr/bin/perl5 to /usr/local/bin/perl. Just curious if anyone else noticed this. -- ........................................................ ......... ..- -. .. -..- .-. ..- .-.. . ... ............ .-- .. -. -... .-.. --- .-- ... -.. .-. --- --- .-.. ...
