hi everyone. i am a linux user switching to bsd (pcbsd) based on freebsd. so far i'm impressed and the freebsd handbook is complete. one of the issues i have so far is firefox. ports offers the 1.0.6 version of firefox but it won't install. i keep getting this error :
Configuring for intltool-0.34.1
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c -o root -g wheel
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... nawk
checking whether gmake sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl

configure: error: perl 5.x required for intltool
===> Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please direct the output of the failure of the make command to a file, and
then feed that file to the gnomelogalyzer, available from
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/gnomelogalyzer.sh, which will diagnose the problem
and suggest a solution. If - and only if - the gnomelogalyzer cannot solve
the problem, report the problem to the FreeBSD GNOME team at gnome@FreeBSD.org,
and attach "/usr/ports/textproc/intltool/work/intltool-0.34.1/config.log" and
the output of the failure of the make command. Also, it might be a good idea
to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls
/var/db/pkg`).
*** Error code 1
as you can see its an issue with libperl. if i was in linux i would make sure the library existed and if not just download it. but i don't know if its installed and its not in the right place, or if its not installed and i need to get it from somewhere. if so, is it in the ports collection? what makes it confusing is that i tried to make sure all dependencies were handled
by doing this:
cd /usr/ports/www/firefox
make fetch-recursive
make install clean
and during the install is where i get this error configuring intltool.
any one have any ideas? i know i could use linux-firefox, but that's old and i won't be able to download extensions. any help would be fantastic. thanks.
