Re^3: Perl version 5.8.6 by Anonymous Monk on Dec 06, 2004 at 17:01 UTC
Hello When I try to use threads, I get the following error even after installing the new 5.8.6: This Perl hasn't been configured and built properly for the threads module to work. (The 'useithreads' configuration option hasn't been u +sed.) Having threads support requires all of Perl and all of the XS modules +in the Perl installation to be rebuilt, it is not just a question of addi +ng the threads module. (In other words, threaded and non-threaded Perls are binary incompatible.) If you want to the use the threads module, please contact the people who built your Perl. Cannot continue, aborting. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/cygwin-multi +-64int/threads.pm line 28. [download] So if 5.008 is the new perl version, why am I not able to run a threads module? Thank you.	[reply] [d/l]

You're going to need to either download a prebuilt that was compiled with threads enabled, or build it from source and enable threads Just Another Perl Alchemist	[reply]

Where can I find a prebuilt that was compiled with threads enabled? During installation, I did enable threads, but it did not seem to work. I also tried to manually install threads in CPAN, but it gave an error during make install: `Cannot forceunlink /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int/auto/Digest +/MD5/MD5.dll: Permission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/File/Find.pm +line 873 make: *** [pure_perl_install] Error 255 /usr/bin/make install -- NOT OK` [download] Thank you.
