Description Diego Palacios 2002-09-25 07:03:28 UTC

When you try to load a perl script you get an error:
Can't locate Irssi.pm, in @INC (@INC contains /home/myhome/.irssi/scripts  /usr/share/irssi/scripts /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686-linux
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/ /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at (eval 20) line 1.

Look in /usr/lib/site_perl - if you see that directory then try the following:

emerge rsync. Make sure you have the latest version of ExtUtils-MakeMaker
installed (under dev-perl). It should be there by default (ensured during the
invokation of the perl-module eclass), but to be safe reinstall
ExtUtils-MakeMaker (it's small - maybe a 150k) and emerge irssi. This should be
fixed with the next rc of perl, but in the interim this will get you there. 

This was identified a few weeks ago and marked as fixed (there was an error in
the ExtUtils-MakeMaker ebuild which is why it was bumped to -r1). Let me know if
you still have problems,

Michael
