System: Slackware64-current and AlienBob's Plasma5 - all up-to-date.
I'm trying to build the TBS drivers for my DVB-T2 card. I did this a month or so ago without issues, but having just updated the kernel, I needed to do it again.
Now I'm getting the following error message, right at the end of the compilation:
Distribution: Slackware 64 -current multilib from AlienBob's LiveSlak MATE

Rep:
No experience of building tbv drivers, but apparently some perl application is involved in the build process. There was an upgrade to perl-5.32.0 in -current on June 22. You may need to rebuild all your perl packages so that they match.
Major versions of Perl are not compatible!
1. Uninstall the previous version of Perl.
2. Move all related modules that were compiled with the previous version of Perl.
3. Install the new version of Perl.
4. Rebuild all desired Perl packages with the current version of Perl. http://teknologi.arahmadi.net/2017/0...ing-issue.html
I'd forgotten that the Perl_ProcessTable was a package that I'd compiled, rather than being part of the Slackware bundle! Rebuilding that against the current perl version solved the problem!

I tried that, but I get this:
Code:
Socket.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got handshake key 0xcd00080, needed 0xed00080)
when running cpan. It seems Socket.c is built into perl-5.32.0-x86_64-1.

It's a PITA, but I get relief by renaming /usr/local/lib64/perl5 to /usr/local/lib64/perl5.old. Files in that directory conflict with modules installed in /usr/lib64/perl5. Of course, the affected modules need to be reinstalled. I'm still trying to find out how to get CPAN to install modules to /usr/lib64/perl5. One of these days ...
