perl5.8 version 5.8.9 snow leopard build failure

[timur@…]

Hi, I tried to install perl5.8 on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.1 (with Xcode 3.2 and X11 correctly installed as it says on the macports webpage). The build fails and this is what i get:

sudo port -d install perl5.8

Where did this come from?

/usr/local/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib

I don't know, but I looked this file up and it was last changed 31 Oct 2007. So I presume it was there from the beginning. Maybe it was created when I installed gcc for the first time, or it came with one of the OS X updates?

Let me guess: this is an old 32-bit library and he is trying to link something 64-bit against it? So I have to install a newer, 64-bit version of *something* to fix the problem?

It's not on my Leopard or Snow Leopard Macs.

No, I would simply move /usr/local/ to /usr/local.moved/ and then clean and install again. You can move it back to /usr/local/ when you are done.

Thank you, now it works perfectly. I have no idea where that other library came from. Anyway, it is not a bug, sorry for bothering you.
