Ok .. this is solved ... I needed to install the latest perl / perl-dev to get this working again ... actually I did emerge -u help2man which installed perl/dev-perl as a dependancy .. might be a dep issue ?
Are you really using perl 5.8.0? mkdir /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl: Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 80 make: *** [pure_vendor_install] Error 255 If you are actually using this version of perl, then you need to be using a far newer version of makemaker than comes with perl 5.8.0. If not - something got hokey on that box
seems not ... This is perl, v5.8.5 built for i686-linux but as I said .. the emerge did solve the problem for me ..
closing (for now?)
