bash: ./perl: No such file or directory

Hello
My LFS book is ver 6.5
I am trying to find out, why I have this error (bash: ./perl: No such file or directory)

Just right after I switched to chroot env, and trying to install Linux API hearders 2.6.30.2

make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=dest headers_install

I have error message '/bin/sh: /usr/bin/perl: No such file or directory'

On my chroot enviroment

ls -l /usr/bin/perl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Feb 18 07:27 /usr/bin/perl -> /tools/bin/perl

and actually when I do /tools/bin/perl -v or some like outside the chroot env, perl works perfect


What could be the problem???

When chrooted what is the ouput of

ls -l /tools/bin/perl
ldd /tools/bin/perl

[edit]

And what does

ls -l /

return? Is /lib64 linked to /lib?

When chrooted what is the ouput of Code: ls -l /tools/bin/perl ldd /tools/bin/perl

ls -l /tools/bin/perl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1231536 Feb 17 21:44 /tools/bin/perl

ldd /tools/bin/perl
/tools/bin/ldd: line 126: /tools/bin/perl: No such file or directory

and what does Code: ls -l /

ls -l /

Is /lib64 linked to /lib?

uname -a

I once messed up my toolchain. One problem was a missing symlink from lib64 to lib in my toolchain. It also gave a 'no such file' error although the file was there. After restoring this symlink it worked again.
However, my build was a subversion of LFS-6.3 and it definitly required a lib64 symlink. I am not sure if LFS-6.5 does so, too.

Can you run
ldd $LFS/tools/bin/perl
when not chrooted?

And also check
ls -l $LFS/tools
when not chrooted.

crts,
first of all thanks for trying to help!


Actually, I did not realize what was the problem at real, but It was the session open through 'screen option' on my LFS station, and it was chrooted already inside, I reattached this screen, and VOOLA, it works like a charm...

I think "No such file or directory" in your case meant that no ld-linux
found.

Run

readelf -l /usr/bin/perl

outside your chroot

You'll output like this:

Is requesting program interpreter present in your chroot environment ?
