not quite true! i had issues with perl, but everyone on this list told me i made a mistake. as i couldn't track the problem down to it's realy cause, i just gave up argueing. and the docs about how to build perl couldn't help, even google and company didn't help. the problem arises with some life-distors, but does not on others. as i was not able to see WHY, i just switched over to a distro which didn't screw up chapter 5. the perl built in chapter 5 compiles fine, but in chapter 6 as the libraries are not found any longer dies. i will add these lines to my scripts in the future and am glad someone really could track down the problem to its source. (and i am happy so see it really was not my fault). btw: i guess it's not only gdbm but other libraries too. tobias -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
