"use Tk" in Perl causes bus error

[Gnossos]

Hello,

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I get this error. Here's what I did:

1) Install darwinports. 2) Install perl 5.8 3) Install p5-mime-tools 4) Install tk 5) Install p5-tk 6) Make this test perl script (after much pain):

   #!/opt/local/bin/perl
   use Tk;
   print "Hello World/n";

The use Tk always throws a bus error.

Is this a bug in the perl/tk packages, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Also as noted there, if you rebuild your perl5 port with the +shared variant, the Tk module will work.

Ideally, the p5-tk would depend on a perl5 port with the +shared variant, but I'm not sure whether it's possible to require a specific variant.

I was wondering if that's why I didn't have issues, since I do use +shared for perl.

Yup, but that isn't currently possible unfortunately, and is ticket #126.

Sorry for the newbie question, but is there an online resource someone could point me to on how I can do that? Thank you!

I have reinstalled my perl with

port -v install perl5.8 +shared

but "use Tk;" still bombs on me.

Updated to version 804.029 in r69983, and the test script in the description works with perl installed without +shared.
