Perl seems to think I have two INC variables.

Here's Jedi Mind Trick for ya:

Code:

root:/sources3/sgml-common-0.6.3# autoreconf -f -i 2>&1 | tee -a /logs/sgml-common-autoreconf.log
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = (unset),
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LANG = "en_US.iso88591"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

root:/sources3/sgml-common-0.6.3# find / -name Glob.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i686-linux/File/Glob.pm

I'm following LFS and BLFS. I just can't understand why or how Perl is using two different INC variables depending upon the command I use (perl or autoconf).

Do you have multiple versions of perl on the box and autoreconf is calling a different one then you are using on the command line?

That was my first thought, since LFS has you install it into the /tools tree first. After the basic system was build, I removed the /tools directory, however. Also, setting the PERLLIB variable fixes the problem. My main issue is figuring out how to tell Perl to stop looking in the /tools tree.

But, then again, it seem like it *isn't* looking in the /tools tree when I ask it what it has in it's INC variable... so I'm confused.
