A library error - not sure if I should expect perl build process to be smart enough to recognise that the ld command complained/failed? (I noticed this when I reviewed the email that came back from RT). N

Well, the messages ld: warning: ignoring file /sw/lib/libcairo.dylib, file was built for unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64) ld: warning: ignoring file /sw/lib/libfreetype.dylib, file was built for unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64) ld: warning: ignoring file /sw/lib/libfontconfig.dylib, file was built for unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64) are just warnings. The linker actually officially succeeded, even though it clearly didn't. I don't think ExtUtils::MakeMaker can detect this. But on to your actual problem: were you able to find cairo, freetype, fontconfig libs for your architecture?

Short answer: yes. Longer answer: I had… fun. I found this page: http://cairographics.org/end_to_end_build_for_mac_os_x/ Which I then realised was dated. So I downloaded more up-to-date versions, but LATEST cairo files are xz. I tried a quick xz build but couldn't find the appropriate executable so gave up and got the .gz ones. Then the pkg-config build tripped on my glib (my fink install is quite dated). On my new Mac (this one), I've started using brew. So I tried to brew glib, which was working, when I suddenly realised I could just brew cairo. If I had've thought of that sooner, I could've saved myself half an hour :-) Chart::Clicker is now successfully installed. thanks Torsten!

Alright, I'm glad it's working for you now. Marking as resolved.
