At first I thought this was a problem with glastree. It wouldn't install cause it couldn't find Date::Calc installed. Emerging Date::Calc noticed a small problem, it couldn't find Bit::Vector,but still said it installed Date::Calc fine. Bit::Vector not being available from portage. I installed it with a tarball. Work and when emerged Date::Calc again, the warning about Bit::Vector went away and test example for Bit::Vector worked find. Tried an example program for Date::Calc, but it says it couldn't find it installed. It was there from the emerge, but not recognized. So did: perl -MCPAN -e shell install Date::Calc That worked. The example didn't from some errors, but Date::Calc was there and then tried to install Glastree. When smooth. I have read some stuff that portage doesn't always handle the perl modules too well. This must be an example of one that it doesn't handle well. Plus, not sure if it would have worked at all without the Bit::Vector (which wasn't avail from portage tree, but not listed as a dependancy from the ebuild).
part after the MCPAN where I mention that Date::Calc was there, not to confuse with earlier statement. Meant it was there and working. It didn't complain of the module missing when ran the Date::Calc example.
I think there are two seperate issues here: Date-Calc.ebuild is missing deps, and the slightly more important one is that it installed to the wrong place. I can work with you on the latter and address the former seperately if you want. It sounds like the new makemaker didn't get called via the perl-module.eclass. This will affect other ebuilds (though when was your last rsync, just to be safe?) placing their perl modules in the wrong place. We have an alternative work around in the works (a new rc for perl that includes the patched makemaker). Let me know how you want to proceed (will address the missing deps irregardless - that's just not right : ) )
Oh, I got it working using CPAN. So I don't have to emerge it again to install glastree. Got the emerge for glastree working once the Date::Calc was installed with CPAN. Didn't notice that the ebuild was installing in the wrong place though, didn't really look real careful, just did a locate. Will try to look better next time for more detail notes. What about the warning about Bit::Vector is that something that should be included in portage since the ebuild complained? Maybe it isn't important. Or is that one of the missing deps? If so, I just rsync'd today and it isn't included in the tree. As far as rsync. I rsync pretty regularly. So if the above is not an issue and you are going to take care of other missing deps, then I am done I guess on my end. Thanks for the great and quick work!
Bit-Vector and a dep for it in Date-Calc have been added to portage this morning. Let me know if it's ok to close this out (I know you said you resolved the issue locally, I just don't like being the one to close the tickets prematurely) Mike
Yes, I see Bit-Vector is in there. That takes care of one issue. Didn't you mention that Date-Calc was also installed in the wrong place? Just curious?
I checked it out in the 1.4rc1 system trying to build. Lot of things not emerging correctly, but Date-Calc and its Bit-Vector dep is working. I ran a Date-Calc test script and it worked fine. I used emerge to install it. So you can close this. Thanks.
