issues with running taskopen

[ghost]

Hi all, many thanks for this potentially fantastic extension of taskwarrior. I am having some problems to run taskopen. I am not a not very experienced user, so please be patient with me.

Installation I did:

sudo make PREFIX=/usr/local/
sudo make PREFIX=/usr/local/ install

The error: When running taskopen on an ID, I get:

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _Perl_xs_handshake
  Referenced from: /usr/local/Cellar/perl/5.28.0/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.28.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/JSON/XS/XS.bundle

Things I believe are useful for you to help: I installed perl from homebrew and the JSON module via sudo cpan install JSON

Does anyone have an idea what I can try to make taskopen running? If you need further information, please let me know. Thanks in advance for your help! Best, lo002

@lo002 thanks for the detailed report. Unfortunately, I do not have a macos device to reproduce your problem. However, I found a post on stackoverflow that might be helpful.

Hi @ValiValpas, many thanks. This must have slipped through when I was searching for it myself. I'll give it a try. Cheers, Tim

For future reference: Before installing, I had to point to the correct perl-installation in the taskopen file, i.e. I changed: #!/usr/bin/perl -w -CLASo into #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w -CLASo

Seems to work smoothly now. Thanks for your help!
