I'm trying to install Gtk on Freebsd 8.4 with the command 'perl -MCPAN
-e "install Gtk"'. I see that one of the dependencies is Glib. So when I
try to install Glib with the command in the subject line it hangs on


perl -M"ExtUtils::Command::MM" -e "test_harness(0,"blib/lib",
"blib/arch")

=2E.. tests that pass...

t/9.t............1/30


hang!



This is the same symtom I see when I try to install Gtk directly.


It will proceed if I hit "ctrl-c" and then tell me the installation
fails.


I tried using the force feature but that did not help: same symptoms.
Thanks
Siegfried

Hi,

Try to wait some time after making force install then press ctrl-c if it doesn't end installation by itself.

You will receive info that "make_test failed but failure ignored because 'force' in effect".

Good questions are how long you need to wait until pressing ctrl-c( :) ) and what exactly is going on when installation hangs on.

Cheers,

czubatka
