Bug 94550 – Running ufed reports a Perl module not loadable from path although it's there

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX

[Description John 2005-05-30 13:27:12 UTC]

Running ufed yields the following: 
 
# ufed 
Can't locate loadable object for module Term::ReadKey in @INC (@INC 
contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) 
at /usr/sbin/ufed line 10 
Compilation failed in require at /usr/sbin/ufed line 10. 
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/ufed line 10. 
 
Searching for the reportedly missing module yields: 
 
# find /usr/lib/perl5 -name 'ReadKey*' 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux/Term/ReadKey.pm 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux/auto/Term/ReadKey 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux/auto/Term/ReadKey/ReadKey.bs 
 
So I wonder what's going on? 
 
Re-emerging ufed doesn't work, nor does re-emerging TermReadKey. I have 
hesitated to re-emerge perl for obvious reasons. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run ufed 
 
Actual Results:  
Can't locate loadable object for module Term::ReadKey in @INC (@INC 
contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) 
at /usr/sbin/ufed line 10 
Compilation failed in require at /usr/sbin/ufed line 10. 
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/ufed line 10. 
 

Expected Results:  
ufed running nicely

(Note the last file)

This is both with TermReadKey-2.30 and TermReadKey-2.21. So, it looks like
that's not installing correctly for you for some reason.

perl guys, could you take a look at this?

Um, weird. Which version of ufed? (desperate attempt at a stall - line 10 is 
use Term::ReadKey, and if you've installed dev-perl/TermReadKey then you should 
already be able to run it).

I've just downgraded both my ufed and TermReadKey, and ufed still works, so I'm   
sort of at a loss to dup. Your missing the ReadKey.so file, which is why this   
is totally broken for you. I don't know if this is some weird side effect of   
ccache needing to be reset (I've heard it happens, but have no experience with   
it). If you wouldn't mind, could you disable ccache and distcc and re-emerge  
TermReadKey? This would at least discount the 2 obvious features of pain.

Any word?
