I have been trying for the past two days to install LFS on my computer. I have successfully gotten to the point, using the LFS-Book 2.6, where you compile glibc in chapter 6. At this point, I get the following make error:
/usr/bin/perl gen-libm-test.pl -u ../sysdeps/i386/fpu/libm-test-ulps -o "/sources/glibc-build/math"
Can't locate Getopt/Std.pm in @INC (@INC contains /tools/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux /tools/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /tools/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux /tools/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /tools/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at gen-libm-test.pl line 42.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at gen-libm-test.pl line 42.
make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/math/libm-test.stmp] Error 2

Does anyone know what this either A) actually means, or B) how to fix it? Any help here would be much appreciated!

It means that standard perl modules are not installed. You have made some error in chapter 5.26, most likely in the last command of that chapter. Redoing that command (or whole perl installation if you have deleted the source directory already) should fix it.

This afternoon, I will attempt to redo the perl part. Thanks.
