Using Lfslivecd 2.6.16.28 on an empty machine. LFS stable 6.2 book
instructions.
Going well. In Chapter 6.
Instructions in 6.22 (Perl-5.8.8) say run interactive Configure. I did
that. Per "... if the defaults it auto-detects are suitable ..." I
accepted all defaults. I then ran the "configure.gnu" with the options
shown.
In the autoconf section (6.25) I receive errors relating to perl. I
suspect that the accepting defaults sticking perl components in
perl-specific directories is the problem. A snippet from the autoconf
process log follows.

A find shows that the not-found file is in
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i486-linux/File. This leads me to thinking that
either the perl defaults in Configure may have been inappropriate or ??
I notice that autoconf references /tools, but not the normal /lib dirs
(being chrooted, I would've thought...)
