I haven't seen examples recently, but I've done it in the past when my scripts hardcoded the version and then the version got upgraded (the copy of lib/* to /tools/lib/perl5/5.8.8).
If you still have the output of configure, maybe worth taking a look from outside chroot (with a better set of available tools, e.g. less and vim) to see _why_ perl seems to not be working. > > *Will this workaround cause other problems down the line? > The workaround itself shouldn't be a problem, but I think some of the perl modules that the book installs in chapter 5 might be for use by testsuites in later packages. Dunno. Mostly, a missing or mis-installed perl gets trapped in glibc. Getting beyond that with a partially working temporary perl is new. Wild thought - maybe you missed the symlink from /tools/bin/perl in "Creating Essential Files and Symlinks" ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
