You are right about that the reason for perl in Chapter 5 is Glibc and Coreutils. The tests for Perl in Chapter 6 are run after both of those and the Chapter 6 install instructions don't change. I still get "All tests successful". I do get some FAILs in coreutils: FAIL: misc/help-version FAIL: misc/invalid-opt I'm not sure why, but I don't think they are related to perl. I also don't think they are significant. For glibc, I get: make[3]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/rt/tst-cpuclock2.out] Error 1 make[3]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/elf/tst-audit4.out] Error 132 make[3]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/elf/tst-audit6.out] Error 132 make[3]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/elf/tst-audit7.out] Error 132 Google says the audit tests are due to an optimization issue in gcc-4.6. The fix is to add -mno-vzeroupper for those tests. I don't think we need to address this. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
