Hello, In CLFS x86_64 multilib, I've some tests in the Perl test suite (chapter 10.22) that failed. After some research, I've found a solution, and a possible explanation. As suggested by the command: echo "127.0.0.1 localhost $(hostname)" > /etc/hosts in the book, Perl test suite needs local network for some tests. But in CLFS, after a reboot, the script /etc/rc.d/init.d/localnet is not started, because IPRoute2 isn't yet installed. To have a perfect Perl test suite, I've so done these operations: - install IPRoute2 in /tools (in fact, only the 'ip' program is needed in /tools/bin) - launch the commands in localnet, which are: > echo "127.0.0.1 localhost $(hostname)" > /etc/hosts > hostname <clfs> before the echo in /etc/hosts. After that, all tests were successfully passed.
If someone can confirm, perhaps the book could be updated, if it's not too late. Regards G. Moko __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
