The nature of the problem is that the packages install their files in the default /usr/local, then when compressing any manpages, attempt to compress in the correct $LOCALBASE (which of course fails - they're in /usr/local, not, in this case, /usr/pkg), and generate a packing list for the correct $LOCALBASE. Additionally, any installation checks also seem to fail when a packge depends on one, since they're checked for relative to $LOCALBASE, not /usr/local. Additionally, the build of world seems to ignore $LOCALBASE in setting the compiled-in value of @INC in perl, so if the modules *were* installed in the correct location they wouldn't actually work. Sigh :) >How-To-Repeat: Set 'LOCALBASE=/usr/pkg' or similar in make.conf, attempt to install a p5-* package. >Fix: "Shell, Hin-lik Hung" <shell@shellhung.org> has submitted a patch for bsd.port.mk for this to have INSTALLSITELIB and INSTALLPRIVLIB passed to make, however I am not sure how much of the problem this will fix. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
