Description Rajiv Aaron Manglani (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-21 18:25:52 UTC
when using mrtg 2.9.21 (latest in portage) with perl-5.8.0-r6:

Can't locate package $VERSION for @MRTG_lib::ISA at /usr/bin/mrtg line 59
	main::BEGIN() called at /usr/bin/../lib/mrtg2/MRTG_lib.pm line 59
	eval {...} called at /usr/bin/../lib/mrtg2/MRTG_lib.pm line 59


mrtg 2.9.22 fixed this problem; from
<http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/pub/CHANGES>:

From: Tobi
* removed VERSION for ISA arry in MRTG_lib.pm ... it has no reason to be
  there, and perl 5.8 complains

latest stable mrtg is 2.9.25 available at:
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/pub/


a newer version of mrtg needs to be added to portage.

mrtg-2.9.25.ebuild

I have successfully built, installed, and tested mrtg using the attached
ebuild.  This resolves the author's complaints.

Rajiv,

Reread this. Testing and putting into portage.
Comment 3 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-27 17:49:42 UTC
It appears to emerge just fine, now in portage. Curious why you didn't approach
this yourself since you are a dev (and I have nothing to do with mrtg). Anywho,
it's in there.
Comment 4 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-06 17:19:03 UTC
fixed
Comment 5 Rajiv Aaron Manglani (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-21 13:40:08 UTC
re comment #3: so far i've been working only on ppc documentation. just now
getting into ebuilds. i didn't feel comfortable enough yet to make that big of a
change to an ebuild.
