Bug 103029 – dev-perl/GD-2.23 fails to install Polyline.pm

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Nicholas Vinen 2005-08-18 22:04:15 UTC]

Hi,

I used dev-perl/GD-2.18 and I had these perl modules available:

/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux/GD.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux/GD/Simple.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux/GD/Polyline.pm

Now I upgraded to the latest stable (dev-perl/GD-2.23). The first file is still
there but the last two have been removed. My program uses GD::Polyline so it broke.

I think this is an error in the makefile, it fails to manify or install the files.

Thanks,
Nicholas

Mass re-assign.

This seems to be a bug in GD-2.23.  The Changelog for 2.28 indicates that this
was fixed in a 2.25:

2.25    Fixed Makefile.PL so that GD::Polyline and GD::Simple are installed
(thanks to Guy Albertelli).

Afraid I was out of commission when this bug was filed, catching up:

( mcummings@zathros )-( 14:49:20 )-( dev-perl )-(  557 )
$ grep -i polyl /var/db/pkg/dev-perl/GD-2.30/CONTENTS
obj /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux/GD/Polyline.pm 848bde66d617f2d5e074b1cc794825d4 1132668504

Looks like this has been resolved. Please reopen if you still have problems and 2.30 doesn't work for you.
