boysie has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I couldn't get Net::SMTP::SSL to install with OS X 10.4 default perl build. I decided to install a new perl from source (using /usr/local/bin to avoid messing up the default version). I followed the REAME.macosx install instructions and the build seems fine until I start trying to install certain modules, e.g. DBD::mysql, Mac::Carbon, etc...

In each make or make test failure I get the following error: lipo: can't open input file: ...

I'm not sure if this is a library conflict, or because of the universal binary build, or something completely different.

I need to either be able to build Net::SMTP::SSL (errors saying it needs perl 5.8.8 to run) with the original perl build, or build a new version that doesn't keep giving me the "lipo" error. The lipo error always points to a file in /var/tmp// if that helps...

      I followed the instructions found at:

      http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.macosx/2007/03/msg10229.html

      Which suggested adding -msse2 to the configuration options.

      I'm still getting the following errors while trying to install DBD::mysql:

      Any other suggestions?

        Try setting the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH might help. Or altering the setup.py to add -L/usr/lib.

        I don't know if this helps but during 'make' I get the following errors for several packages:

        I'm wondering if I'm having problems because of previous builds. Is there a way to build perl statically, or in other words without linking to the old files/libraries?
        Would that
