[SOLVED] Installing Perl outputs some errors and build time isn't as long as indicated.

Couldn't copy and paste code but here is a screen shot of the results from

Code:

make install

~build time is said to be 7.5 SBU's but the whole process took much shorter than that. I've highlighted some errors which I think may be the problem. Hoping someone can shed some light on this issue for me and point me in the right direction.

Hi

You dont mention what chapter you are on,

Can you post the output of version-check script please to start with

luckylinuxluser · 02-19-2013, 01:27 PM

Sorry. I'm in chapter 6.37. Ran out of room in the title and forgot to mention it in the text.

I'm entering

Code:

version-check

and I'm just getting back:

Code:

bash: version-check: command not found

This being done from the sources/perl-5.16.1 dir.

Ok that needs to be run from host but as you are that far along dont worry.
Did you install zlib chapter 6.11 Did you run the last command about moving

Code:

mv -v /usr/lib/libz.so.* /lib
ln -sfv ../../lib/libz.so.1.2.7 /usr/lib/libz.so

Also have a look in /usr/lib for lib.so lib.a

also ls -l /usr/lib

should have lib.so linked to libz.so -> ../../lib/libz.so.1.2.

I thought I followed all the commands, but I guess I missed these because I do not see "lib.so" or "lib.a" in /usr/lib

Should I go back and redo chapter 6.11 and try 6.37 again?

::EDIT:: unless you meant "libz.so" and "libz.a" Because I do have those files in the /usr/lib directory and "libz.so" is linked to ../../lib/libz.so.1.2.7

That was a typo your files are in order.

Did you copy and paste the sed command

I was just about to ask if the OP was 100% sure about the sed command

spiky0011 · 02-19-2013, 01:57 PM

Also copy paste the "sh Configure"

unfortunately I installed the host system without a GUI. I've had to be extra careful in how I enter commonds and I've gone through it twice, once while disregarding the spacing and again replicating the spaces at the end of lines.

Code:

sed -i -e "s|BUILD_ZLIB\s*= True|BUILD_ZLIB = False|"           \
       -e "s|INCLUDE\s*= ./zlib-src|INCLUDE    = /usr/include|" \
       -e "s|LIB\s*= ./zlib-src|LIB        = /usr/lib|"         \
    cpan/Compress-Raw-Zlib/config.in

Do I need to make sure the spacing is correct at the beginning of lines? For instance...

Code:

>       -e "s|INCLUDE\s*= ./zlib-src|INCLUDE    = /usr/include|" \

Also I've been hitting enter after every "\" as per my understanding of the instructions in the Typography page.

Dose the host not have a non graphical web browser "Links or lynx

You also mentioned this in one of your other posts. Why can't you copy and paste?

You can access multiple consoles from the CLI (ALT-F1 -> ALT-F6). Open lynx with the html doc in one terminal and do all the LFS related stuff in another. copy/paste using the mouse from one console to the other. Not sure if gpm is installed on your host, that is needed for having a mouse in CLI mode.

That depends. In your example the first spaces can go, but the space between INCLUDE and = cannot go.

The command could be re-written to:

Code:

sed -i -e "s|BUILD_ZLIB\s*= True|BUILD_ZLIB = False|" -e "s|INCLUDE\s*= ./zlib-src|INCLUDE    = /usr/include|" \
-e "s|LIB\s*= ./zlib-src|LIB        = /usr/lib|" cpan/Compress-Raw-Zlib/config.in

# or as a "one-liner"
sed -i -e "s|BUILD_ZLIB\s*= True|BUILD_ZLIB = False|" -e "s|INCLUDE\s*= ./zlib-src|INCLUDE    = /usr/include|" -e "s|LIB\s*= ./zlib-src|LIB        = /usr/lib|" cpan/Compress-Raw-Zlib/config.in

That sounds correct.

Umm.. Thank you... There are times such as these when I ask myself if maybe I needed to learn a bit more about Linux before trying LFS, but the GUI always spoiled me and I never got myself to use the CLI.

I'm hitting ALT-F1, but it's not doing anything. Maybe because I'm in the LFS partition ATM... can I safely:

Code:

cd /dev/sdaX

to the host system and open another console where I cd /dev/xxxx back into LFS without fear of messing anything up like the environment variables?

Try Ctrl+Alt+F2
