Unable to use Device::SerialPort on Mac OS Xby Metphoto (Initiate) |

Metphoto has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Hello fellow brothers, forgive me for I am novice. I have only just started to learn Perl. I wanted to write a small app to read data from a serial device attached to my Mac. So I wrote this: When I run this app I get this error:
The key part of the message seems to be "Symbol not found: _PL_stack_base" I have reinstalled Device::SerialPort from CPAN. That appeared to work. I downloaded the package directly from CPAN and tried to re-make the module, using something like (I cant seem to find the exact instructions I used): perl Makefile.PL make make test sudo make install As far as I can tell I have only one copy of SerialPort.pm installed. I am running this on a Apple Mac using OS X 10.5.8, with a Core Duo CPU, i.e. 32bit. Perl is v5.8.8. I did read somewhere that SerialPort.pm was Linux only. Is that true? Any ideas? TIA Mark
