I hope all is well with you. I need help please. I recently ran into trouble with a command-line tool called ‘help2man’:</div><div><br></div><div><div>HELP2MAN starpu_env.1</div><div>Encode.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got handshake key 0x10200080, needed 0xfb80080)</div></div><div><br></div><div>I assume, this happens because I have multiple Perl installations on my system: Apple’s, MacPorts’ and my own compiled from source.</div><div><br></div><div>When I look at all possible port variants for help2man I see:</div><div><br></div><div><div>sudo port variants help2man</div><div>Password:</div><div>help2man has the variants:</div><div> perl5_28: Use MacPorts perl5.28</div><div> * conflicts with perl5_30 perl5_32 perl5_34 perl5_36 perl5_38</div><div> perl5_30: Use MacPorts perl5.30</div><div> * conflicts with perl5_28 perl5_32 perl5_34 perl5_36 perl5_38</div><div> perl5_32: Use MacPorts perl5.32</div><div> * conflicts with perl5_28 perl5_30 perl5_34 perl5_36 perl5_38</div><div>[+]perl5_34: Use MacPorts perl5.34</div><div> * conflicts with perl5_28 perl5_30 perl5_32 perl5_36 perl5_38</div><div> perl5_36: Use MacPorts perl5.36</div><div> * conflicts with perl5_28 perl5_30 perl5_32 perl5_34 perl5_38</div><div> perl5_38: Use MacPorts perl5.38</div><div> * conflicts with perl5_28 perl5_30 perl5_32 perl5_34 perl5_36</div><div> universal: Build for multiple architectures</div></div><div><br></div><div>Would it be possible to provide another help2man variant that would use perl5_40?</div><div><br></div><div>This brings me to a more general question. Is one version of perl5_XY enough to power all other MacPorts that depend on a Perl port or do we really need perl5_34 for one port A and perl5_36 for another port B? Is it possible to bring ‘law and order’ into a MacPorts installation and say: “Dear ports, please use the one and only Perl port v5.40?” I’m sure someone sometime ago has already asked this question, but I didn’t understand the answer that time. Thank you for your help and have a wonderful day ahead!</div><div><br></div><div>—</div><div>Best wishes,</div><div>Maxim</div><div><br></div><div><div>
