>Originator:     Thomas Arendsen Hein
>Release:        Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 with pkgsrc from CVS
>Organization:
Intevation GmbH
>Environment:
Linux thoe 2.6.17.13-id1-k8-1 #2 SMP Mon Sep 11 17:11:25 CEST 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
>Description:
During installation of devel/p5-perl-headers the following is executed:
( cd "/usr/include" &&  $PREFIX/bin/h2ph -d $PKGSRC/devel/p5-perl-headers/work/h2ph -r -l . )  > $PKGSRC/devel/p5-perl-headers/work/h2ph_log

In /usr/include is a symbolic link: gdal -> ../include/

h2ph recursively descends into /usr/include/gdal/gdal/gdal/... until recursion limit is reached.

If the symlink is
 gdal -> .
instead of
 gdal -> ../include/
everything works fine.

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/include
ln -s ../install/ gdal
cd .../pkgsc/devel/p5-perl-headers
bmake install

>Fix:
cd /usr/include
rm gdal
ln -s . gdal
