Running 'make' results in: GEN git-add--interactive make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/System/Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Config.pm', needed by `perl.mak'. Stop. make[1]: *** [instlibdir] Error 2 make: *** [git-add--interactive] Error 2 There's no /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0 directory, but there is a 5.10 directory. Symlinking that to 5.10.0 gives me : GEN git-add--interactive Writing perl.mak for Git make[2]: *** [perl.mak] Error 1 make[1]: *** [instlibdir] Error 2 make: *** [git-add--interactive] Error 2 Running 'perl -v' shows I'm running v5.12.3. Where is that "/System/Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Config.pm" path obtained from? Any other information I can provide? -Jonathan ``` ## Jack Nagel, 2011-07-28 12:19 Subject: Re: Can't build git on Lion?

Symlinking that to 5.10.0 gives me : I've seen this issue pop up serveral times in the last few days in various places; the solution is to install (or re-install) XCode as the installation does not persist correctly across upgrades. Versions prior to 4.1 are incompatible with Lion; also, after you download it from the App Store, make sure that you run the "XCode Installer" app that is placed in your Applications folder. ``` ## David Aguilar, 2011-07-29 06:38 Subject: Re: Can't build git on Lion?

The last time I saw this error it was because the Perl version changed. "make clean" fixed it for me. YMMV. -- David ``` ## Jonathan del Strother, 2011-07-29 18:51 Subject: Re: Can't build git on Lion?

Oh, good point. Yes, 'make clean' fixed things, thanks for the tip. ``` ## Shigeya Suzuki, 2011-07-30 02:47 Subject: Re: Can't build git on Lion?
