Perl broken on default install of current 8.0-RELEASE

[dhp]

Boot the .iso, install to disk, boot the disk.. select 7 for shell and type 'perl -v'

//

%perl
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libperl.so" not found, required by "perl"

//

I've search the filesystem for libperl.so.. and there isn't one. I've tried installing the ports tree (portsnap fetch etc) and I cannot replace the perl version (perl-5.10.1_3).

I'm assuming everyone is having this problem, this is using the most recent "release" linked off the main website for amd 64.

Little help?

Dee.

Yeah, it is broken because perl is not available in freenas 8.0 by default, and very likely won't...

Most likely there's only a symlink missing which points /usr/bin/perl to /usr/local/bin/perl5.10.1
You can fix it by creating it yourself:
On the shell as root (or via sudo):

Code:

mount -uw /
ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl5.10.1 /usr/bin/perl
mount -ur /
