Good afternoon I encountered the same problem as already discussed in http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-support/2007-October/033715.html but the advice given there does not help.
Here what I checked so far: 1) all from the post I referred to above, i.e. there is no environment variable $PERL set, the directories have the correct names 2) in my chroot environment, I can't invoke perl but it is there: root:/tools/bin# ./perl --version bash: ./perl: No such file or directory root:/tools/bin# ls -l | grep perl -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1117289 Mar 8 11:32 perl In a new login with user lfs (= outside chroot) I can perfectly well invoke perl: lfs:/mnt/lfs/tools/bin# ./perl --version This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i686-linux /snip/ 3) I rebuilt perl-5.8.8 as described in chapter 5.25 with no change. I'm following lfs_next_to_existing_systems.txt. So far, everything went well. I'm using version 6.3 and the packages from the LiveCD r2160. Any idea what is happening? Thanks, Frank P.S.: I tried to send this message eralier already but probably didn't wait long enough to receive the welcome message of the listserv.
