Re^2: Problem Installing Perl-Tk on macOS Monterey (12.6) with Apple M1 chip

Here is the relavent pstree output for the hanging processes:

Running the following command from the CPAN build directory (/Users/cmv/.cpan/build/Tk-804.036-0) causes the hang:

/bin/sh -c cd PNG && make test_dynamic LIBPERL_A="libperl.a" LINKTYPE=

+NE=' ' PASTHRU_INC='-I/usr/X11R6/include -I/opt/X11/include/freetype2

The file that it seems to be hanging on is:

I'm having the same problem. What was the resolution of this error?	[reply]

I have Tk installed and tried to run basic.t. It failed because XQuartz was not running. Started up XQuartz and it failed to find pngtest.png in my homedir. Once that file was in place PNG/t/basic.t passed all tests. Make sure XQuartz is running.	[reply]
