Subject: Invalid version format (non-numeric data) during Makefile.PL
This bug has been noted on Gentoo building under Perl 5.12.1 For more information on this bug see here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_activity.cgi?id=328723 The problem appears to be the version strings in "our %build_reqs" in Makefile.PL, namely the 'rc2' suffixes. * perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/usr INSTALLDIRS=vendor INSTALLMAN3DIR=none DESTDIR=/tmp/portage/dev-perl/gtk2-spell-1.03/image/ Invalid version format (non-numeric data) at /usr/lib64/perl5/5.12.1/Exporter/Heavy.pm line 120. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 6) line 1. I skimmed through the Git repository and found somebody made a fix similar to the one somebody suggested we try, dated 2003, http://git.gnome.org/browse/perl-Gtk2-Spell/commit/?id=caa0ef46bbb2ce81cd92ef80f3547b15803e05c6 Hopefully this is a useful bug report =).

Subject: fix for Invalid version format (non-numeric data) during Makefile.PL
I just made this quick patch with diff -crB to fix the Makefile.PL . I was able to build Gtk2::Spell on Perl 5.12.3.
Subject: makepl.patch

I can confirm this behaviour causes the build to fail, at least under 5.14.1. The patch above resolves the problem; I've also pushed it out on github at: https://github.com/RsrchBoy/Gtk2- Spell/commit/3ff488a91113984e7a63734b3301930e266dd09e ...as I'll probably need it again at some point in the future :)

These changes have actually already been in our source repository for quite a while, they just were never released. Fixed now with version 1.04.
