[I'm using 32-bit Cygwin (1.7.35) on a Win7 64-bit system.] I now get the following error when I run 'git difftool':
$ git difftool Can't locate Error.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14/i686-cygwin-threads-64int /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.14/i686-cygwin-threads-64int /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.14 /usr/lib/perl5/5.14/i686-cygwin-threads-64int /usr/lib/perl5/5.14 .) at /usr/libexec/git-core/git-difftool line 17. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/libexec/git-core/git-difftool line 17. This used to work. Maybe this is related to the recent Perl distribution changes that Achim announced a few days ago. I uninstalled and reinstalled git, but to no avail. I do have perl-Error installed, but it looks like the module is only installed in the 5.10 path: $ which perl /usr/bin/perl $ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/perl perl_base-5.14.4-3 $ cygcheck -l perl-Error /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10/Error/Simple.pm /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10/Error.pm /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10/i686-cygwin/auto/Error/.packlist /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/perl-Error.README /usr/share/doc/perl/html/html3/site/lib/Error/Simple.html /usr/share/doc/perl/html/html3/site/lib/Error.html /usr/share/doc/perl-Error/ChangeLog /usr/share/doc/perl-Error/README /usr/share/man/man3/Error.3pm.gz /usr/share/man/man3/Error.Simple.3pm.gz And, in fact, I can get 'git difftool' to work if I modify the perl include path: $ PERL5LIB="/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10" git difftool Viewing (1/1): 'parse_mentor.py' Launch 'diff_merge' [Y/n]: Is this a perl-Error packaging issue, or is my perl setup broken?
