f7, perl and CPAN

hohum · 08-01-2007, 01:24 AM

I like my perl. But I can't update CPAN or anything.

This is the typical error that seems to be recurrent:

Errno architecture (i386-linux-thread-multi-2.6.9-34.elsmp) does not match executable architecture (i386-linux-thread-multi-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6xen)

Which is bang on:

Linux srv1 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 #1 SMP Mon Jul 23 17:33:07 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

[root@srv1 ~]# rpm -q perl
perl-5.8.8-18.fc7

Is there an easy way to fix this?

I removed perl, everything that depends on it and then rm -rf /usr/lib/perl5 and reinstalled. Drastic & it's probably broken half my scripts, but now I can update CPAN.
