perl5.8 destroot failure: Can't find 'boot_File__Glob' symbol in lib/auto/File/Glob/Glob.bundle

[linschn@…]

Installing gimp2 fail because of perl5.8 failing. Trying port install perl5.8 fails on iBook G4 running Leopard.

Output of 'port install perl5.8'

Please run "sudo port clean perl5.8", then make a full debug log by running "sudo port -d install perl5.8 > perl5.8-debug.log 2>&1" and attach it to the ticket.

Steven Scholnick reported this problem again on macports-users.

Has duplicate #15665. We still need the additional debug output requested above to make any headway on figuring out what's going on here.

The requested debug log

[edouard-jo.klein@…]

I would like to apologize for having being so long to give a debug log. It simply got out of my mind till I received a new mail yesterday. Hope it will be helpful.

I notice on the line when its linking Glob.bundle:

env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc  -L/opt/local/lib -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -L/usr/local/lib bsd_glob.o Glob.o  -o ../../../lib/auto/File/Glob/Glob.bundle

It has -L/usr/local/lib in it; when building here, mine does not specifically list that. What do you have in /usr/local/lib?

I was having the same problem on a G5 running Leopard, but seem to have found a workaround (from snooping around the net). The macports build seems to be picking up intermediates in /usr/local/lib -- rather than /opt/local/lib. Renaming /usr/local/lib to /usr/local/lib.bak seemed to fix the problem.

Hope this helps.
