Description David E.Miller 2002-11-02 10:38:14 UTC
executing foomatic from the bash shell command line as follows results in 
errors returned to the screen as follows:
bash-2.05a# foomatic-configure -O
Can't locate Foomatic/Defaults.pm in @INC (@INC 
contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-
linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-
linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) 
at /usr/bin/foomatic-configure line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/foomatic-configure line 13.
bash-2.05a# 


Note: Defaults.pm and DB.pm, etc.  located at: 
/usr/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/Foomatic

foomatic unmerged and remerged after emerge rsync with same result. All 
dependencies satisfied. All gentoo world and system packages up to date. Same 
result.
Comment 1 Jonathan Nall 2002-11-02 23:22:58 UTC
please emerge ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.05-r1. this fixes a bug in perl module
installation. after this, you'll need to re-emerge foomatic and any other perl
modules that were installed under the buggy MakeMaker (a safe bet is to
re-emerge all of them).

please reply here if this fixes the problem.
Comment 2 David E.Miller 2002-11-03 11:12:10 UTC
Yep! That did it. Re-merged the ExtUtils-Makemaker and foomatic and thence 
foomatic-configure -O works as advertised. Thanks!
