Description Emil Sköldberg 2003-02-13 05:47:37 UTC
On trying to emerge erlang 8b the build failed during a perl processing of
a file. On asking on the erlang mailing list I got the tip that this could
be related to that perl's 'lenght' function mistook a string for a 
UTF-8 encoded string and gave the  wrong answer. An upgrade of perl to 
version 5.8.0 solved the problem 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge erlang
2.
3.

Sorry, should have read "erlang 8b failed to build with perl v5.6.1"

v5.6.1 is OK according to the dependencies

Can't get around to this anytime soon, sorry.

Hi Emil.

Any particular reason why you are using the 8b version?
The latest one in portage is 9b and I just added 9c. Could you please test that one?
If you are using stable profile, you will need to do
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge erlang
However if it gets tested by you and ebuild submitter, I'll move it to stable profile ;).

George
