Hi,

does anybody know how I can fix this problem? I've looked through the
archives of this (and other) lists and Google -- no joy. Help me
OBSD-Wan, you're my only hope :)

(Both OS and ports are 2.9 btw)

Here's a transcript:

---

[root@gw mod_perl]# make install

I did some research but previous suggestions involved mismatched
OS/ports versions, make, tar and the package system. I'm sure it's much
simpler than that.

That's pretty much it. Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers,

PS. This is my first post to this list. If I've unknowingly committed
any unspeakable sins (cols > 72, not enough info, too many smileys, not
enough smileys etc) let me know (nicely). Thanks.
