Re: GTK-OSX Build Problem

[Chris Share <cpsmusic yahoo com>]

I think this explains the problem:

most users will be running Mac OS X on Apple’s HFS+ file system, which, as
of this writing, uses case-insensitive filenames. This creates a couple of gotchas for
mod_perl development. First, the mod_perl installation process will encourage you to
install Perl’s LWP modules so that it can run a few HTTP requests to test mod_perl
before installing it. Unfortunately, at the time of this writing LWP installs its HEAD script
into the /usr/bin/ directory. Although the case of any filename is preserved on HFS+,
files called, say, FOO and foo cannot exist in the same directory. Thus LWP’s HEAD
program overwrites the Unix file-viewing utility /usr/bin/head.

I guess that I now have to reinstall head.

Cheers,

Chris

This looks like case-sensitivity problem. The output you're seeing is
generated by HEAD (note the capitalisation), which is a perl script bundled
with libwww-perl.
