In trying to add Vim at the end of Ch. 5, I discoverd that four ncurses libraries weren't where they were supposed to be. Instead of /tools/lib I found libncurses{,w}.so.5{,.9} (actually two of these are soft links) in /tools/lib/perl15/5.18.1/x86_64-linux-gnu/. This just doesn't seem right. I think I can remember typing "x86_64-linux-gnu" when building Ch. 5, but I can't remember in what section. The only instructions in either ncurses or perl that could have caused any "typing issues"--and I usually copy and paste to eliminate those--are in the perl build. "cp -Rv lib/* /tools/lib/perl5/5.18.1.
I now have doubts about the success of my Ch. 5 efforts and want to wipe the partition and start over unless someone can tell me that moving those four items back to /tools/lib will solve the situation. I discovered this situation when vim failed to configure because it couldn't find terminal libraries and "--with-tlib=/tools/lib" didn't help. I'd really just like to move those things, but right now I have no confidence that all in my tool chain is correct. The other clarification I need to add is that I had already set up and entered the chroot environment once. I was in $LFS as me to configure and compile and was going to install as root.
