[guest - Wed Mar 9 02:18:42 2005]: This is not an issue with GraphViz::Makefile, but an issue with GraphViz itself. Regards, Slaven

From: bmg [...] sfu.ca
Yes, I didn't mean to suggest that. It turns out that the problem dissapeared when I upgraded from Perl 5.8.0 to 5.8.3 . I suspect this is more of a problem with cpan not recognizing when things are dependent on up to date core libraries rather than anything really wrong with GraphViz or its makefile. It might be beneficial to try to check for that and produce a warning when the make command is executed. cheers -Ben [SREZIC - Wed Mar 16 13:58:15 2005]: Show quoted text
