Term::ReadLine::Gnu cannot initialize

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

Hi monks, I'm trying to access cpan and I get this error:

> cpan
Cannot do `initialize' in Term::ReadLine::Gnu at /opt/local/lib/perl5/
+5.8.9/CPAN.pm line 248
[download]

I think I might have screwed up my libraries. Any suggestions on how I can reinstall them. I'm using OS X Snow Leopard (10.6). Thanks, Nacho

Honestly, I've tried to install TRG so many times, and I can't remember it ever working for me. So I just install Term::ReadLine::Perl, and that Just Works(TM). So, based on that, I'd have to suggest trying a different ReadLine implementation.	[reply]
