Did you try Ken's suggestion? Make sure your devices are populated correctly. I can't say I know the exact cause of this problem is, but there is one thing that's wrong on the LFS page in 6.2. It says that you can run Configure and look at the defaults it gives you. If you run Configure first, it will break our build because the wrong defaults will get hardcoded in. So, if you've run Configure, delete the perl source directory, unpack it again, and just run configure.gnu first. You can actually run Configure _after_ configure.gnu because the correct defaults will be set. Other than that, I don't know what your error is. Perl's build system is a pile of *hit. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
