        Last time I had a problem, the instructions in this thread worked for me.

        In summary:
        While it was installed in the WebGUI, go to the shell.
        pkg_delete lightsquid*
        ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl
        Go back to the webgui and install it again.

        After that, it worked like a charm.

          So, you mean to run the pkg_delete command before uninstalling the package from the GUI? Humm, I´ll try! Thanks.

            Yes, run the pkg_delete command while it is still installed from the WebGUI.

            I also added this procedure to the Wiki as an FAQ, so let me know if it doesn't work for you.

              :-\ no, it doesn´t work for me. The uninstall goes ok but the symlink tells me that there is already a /usr/bin/perl file. Should I delete this file and run the symlink again? About to give up with lightsquid… :( . Oh! just the graphics interface (graph.cgi only involved) is giving me trouble. Numeric data shows ok.

              Regards.

                What do you see when you try this?

                # ls -l /usr/bin/perl
                

                It should look like this:

                lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  19 Dec 13 17:30 /usr/bin/perl -> /usr/local/bin/perl
                

                You can also test perl like so:

                # /usr/bin/perl -v
                

                You should get a short answer stating the version and license info.

                You might also try looking in the lighthttpd error log:

                # cat /var/log/lighttpd.error.log

                  That´s the problem...graph.cgi compilation fails...

                    What about these?

                    # find / -name "GD.pm"
                    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/mach/GD.pm
                    
                    # pkg_info | grep -i "gd-2*"
                    gd-2.0.35,1         A graphics library for fast creation of images
                    p5-GD-2.39          A perl5 interface to Gd Graphics Library version2
                    
                    # cat /var/db/pkg/p5-GD-2.39/+REQUIRED_BY
                    lightsquid-1.7.1_1
                    

                    I'm not sure why yours wouldn't be properly pulling the dependencies like it should.

                    I suppose you could also try to remove lightsquid, gd, p5-GD, and so on and reinstall.

                    I wonder if perl uninstalled, removed the GD lib, but the package info for GD is still hanging out and thinks it is installed.

                    Sounds like a real mess, but recoverable if that's the case.

                        No need to do that dvserg. Thanks a lot anyway. It is not critical for us right now. We´ll try to debug this pointing to the GD graphics package.

                          I still get the "500 - Internal Server Error" on pfSense 1.2-RELEASE

                          When I type:

                          # pkg_info | grep -i "gd-2*"
                          

                          I get no output - these two packages are not installed. How can I get them installed?
