Of corse all dependencies are in fact installed.

Replying to ryandesign:

Thank you, I will check it. May be they were built against different versions of SDK, that's the only thing which comes to my mind. I have rebuilt Locale module before submitting the ticket and that didn't help.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The SDK version shouldn't matter. When I searched for this error, it seemed like people were experiencing it because the major version of perl had changed, but that should be impossible in MacPorts since each major version of perl uses its own set of directories and subports.

There is an upstream bug ​https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/15861 about this error message and its vagueness. I haven't read the many comments on that issue; maybe they have more suggestions.

Thank you. Indeed, rebuilding didn't help. Posted in that thread.

UPD. I changed Perl to 5.30, and it built:

The following ports are currently installed:
  help2man @1.48.5_0 requested_variants='' platform='darwin 10' archs='ppc' date='2022-01-23T08:51:51+0800'

And rebuilding perl itself does not help. Ports fail with same error.

Thank you. I have checked my env, there is no PERL-related settings there. ~/.bash_profile only got Macports PATH.

/opt/local/bin/perl and /opt/local/bin/perl5 symlinks point to perl5.28. Each of three installed perls got also a three-digit symlink, like perl5.28.3. No weird versions of perl installed on this machine.

/usr/bin has three: perl (showing v. 5.10.0 with -v), perl5.8.9 and perl5.10.0. To my knowledge I did not install anything there manually.

16. S. I tried using zsh instead of bash just in case some non-obvious settings differ, it made no difference.

I have had similar problems and at long last resolved at least one (on 10.11.6). Upgrade texinfo failed with :-

parsetexi/Parsetexi.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got handshake key 0xc400080, needed 0xf880080)

I let Macports handle perl, and have it as a dependency. I don't program in perl or install other perl programs, or pull in modules that I am aware of. The error message does not explicitly identify the perl module, or it's library path, full source path, nor where it has come from. It seems it is hard for better help on correcting this error to be included in the perl error message. I was less lucky in that I could not work out which version of perl I should use to work around this issue (Apple or Macports, etc) i.e the one Parsetexi must have been built with. instmodsh did not list Parsetexi. The texinfo log file indicated it was configuring with Macports Perl 5.34 (the perl I get at the command line). No Parsetexi.c could be found on my disk.
I found Parsetexi.so in /opt/local/lib/, but no trace of where it had come from.

$ port provides /opt/local/lib/Parsetexi.so
/opt/local/lib/Parsetexi.so is not provided by a MacPorts port.

I believe all files in /opt/local/lib/ should have come from a MacPorts build, & I don't put anything in there, so either it has been put there by MacPorts, but MacPorts does not know this, or it is an old left over from something no longer provided (or maybe a temporary lib from a build). Simply moving it corrected the texinfo upgrade, and somehow, texinfo configured without needing it (or having a perl try to load it).

$ sudo mv /opt/local/lib/Parsetexi.so /opt/local/lib/Parsetexi.so.bad

I hope this helps you or others with these pesky "perl binaries are mismatched" issues. Perhaps you have a similar problem but with an old leftover library version (built under 5.30) earlier in a library path and now it is in the wrong place.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

What about you, Sergey? Do you have any unexplained .so files in /opt/local/lib?
