I'm downgrading to perl-5.8 and I had problem doing it so. First I had a block: [blocks B ] <sys-devel/libperl-5.10.1 ("<sys-devel/libperl-5.10.1" is blocking dev-lang/perl-5.12.2-r1) I unmerge libperl-5.10.1 and mask: >=dev-lang/perl-5.12.2-r1 >=sys-devel/libperl-5.10.1 but it sill was giving me the same error message, so I run: emerge -1 --nodeps =libperl-5.8.8* && emerge --nodeps =perl-5.8.8* this worked but when I run "perl-cleaner --all" it tries to recompile imagemagick and I get error: libtool: install: warning: remember to run `libtool --finish /usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.6.2/modules-Q16/coders' make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/imagemagick-6.6.2.5/work/ImageMagick-6.6.2-5' make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/imagemagick-6.6.2.5/work/ImageMagick-6.6.2-5' make: *** [install] Error 2 * ERROR: media-gfx/imagemagick-6.6.2.5 failed: * (no error message) * * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 54: Called src_install * environment, line 2654: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * emake DESTDIR="${D}" install || die; * * If you need support, post the output of 'emerge --info =media-gfx/imagemagick-6.6.2.5', * the complete build log and the output of 'emerge -pqv =media-gfx/imagemagick-6.6.2.5'. * The complete build log is located at '/var/log/portage/media-gfx:imagemagick-6.6.2.5:20101028-200305.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/imagemagick-6.6.2.5/temp/environment'. * S: '/var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/imagemagick-6.6.2.5/work/ImageMagick-6.6.2-5' How to go about it?

Perl downgrade is very bad idea (propably unsupported too) but that said, need full build.log attached here
Created attachment 252423 [details] imigemagick.log Someone suggested on the forum that I shouldn't have a problem downgrading perl, so I went ahead with it. Here is the imigemagick.log
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl Where did =libperl-5.8.8* put the libperl.so?
*** Bug 343159 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
running locate libperl.so shows: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/i686-linux/CORE/libperl.so.1.5.8 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/i686-linux/CORE/libperl.so.1 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.2/i686-linux/CORE/libperl.so /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.4/i686-linux/CORE/libperl.so.1.5.8 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.4/i686-linux/CORE/libperl.so.1 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.4/i686-linux/CORE/libperl.so /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i686-linux/CORE/libperl.so.1.5.8 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i686-linux/CORE/libperl.so.1 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i686-linux/CORE/libperl.so /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux/CORE/libperl.so.1.5.8 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux/CORE/libperl.so.1 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux/CORE/libperl.so /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/i686-linux/CORE/libperl.so.1.5.8 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/i686-linux/CORE/libperl.so.1 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/i686-linux/CORE/libperl.so /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux/CORE/libperl.so.1.5.8 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux/CORE/libperl.so.1 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux/CORE/libperl.so /usr/lib/libperl.so.1 /usr/lib/libperl.so.1.5.8 so it is there. I've recompile perl-5.8.8-r8, tried to emerge imagemagick but it fails with the same error.
I've downgraded perl-cleaner to 1.05 run it: "perl-cleaner all" it finish OK but imagemagick still fails.
Would un-merging perl-12 running revdep-rebuild and emerging perl-5.8 worked? Is un-merging perl dangerous?
(In reply to comment #5) > /usr/lib/libperl.so.1 > /usr/lib/libperl.so.1.5.8 > > so it is there. no it isn't, what you need is "/usr/lib/libperl.so" for -lperl to work with linker. post the build.log of =libperl-5.8.8* here.
Created attachment 252511 [details] libperl-5.8.8-r2 log Here it is. I've emerged it with, as I had a blocker. emerge --nodeps =perl-5.8.8* could it be the reason
I re-emerge libperl-5.8.8-r2 without "--nodeps" but /usr/lib/libperl.so was not created
SOVED! Thank you for your help. Re-emerging emerge =perl-5.8.8* (without "--nodeps" solved the problem. /usr/lib/libperl.so was created and package imagemagick compiles OK So I think to downgrade perl it is a two stage process, running: emerge -1 --nodeps =libperl-5.8.8* && emerge --nodeps =perl-5.8.8* because of the strange block, next running it without "--nodeps" emerge -1 libperl && emerge perl perl-cleaner all Last question: Is :perl-cleaner-2.7" compatible with perl-5.8.8 or I need to stay with 1.05 version?
