Hiya guys, I've got perl-5.8.8-r5 installed, recently did an emerge --depclean and cleared out both virtual/perl-Module-Build and dev-perl/Module-Build since they seemed not to be required (I assume they're only buildtime dependency). I'm now trying to build IO-Socket-INET6 and get the following: >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/dev-perl/IO-Socket-INET6-2.56/work/IO-Socket-INET6-2.56 ... * Using Module::Build Can't locate Module/Build.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at Build.PL line 3. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Build.PL line 3. * * ERROR: dev-perl/IO-Socket-INET6-2.56 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 2352: Called perl-module_src_compile * environment, line 2092: Called perl-module_src_prep * environment, line 2141: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * echo "$pm_echovar" | perl Build.PL ${myconf} --installdirs=vendor --destdir=${D} --libdoc= || die "Unable to build! (are you using USE="build"?)"; This suggests that Module-Build is required but isn't a DEPENDency. Looking in the perl-module eclass, it appears from the 2005.03.14 comment (later the same day) that ebuilds should DEPEND on Module-Build when necessary (otherwise I'd suggest adding it to the eclass somehow). If you need any more information, let me know... 5:)
Thanks, fixed.
