make error while compiling perl (LFSv7.2 Step 5.28)
I have completed all the LFS steps till patch-2.6.1 with no errors .But as i went on to compile perl using the instruction
Code:
patch -Np1 -i ../perl-5.16.1-libc-2.patch
then,
Code:
sh Configure -des -Dprefix=/tools
then ,
Code:
make
i get the following 2 errors :

I tried all over again from the first , bt still not able to figure out why is this happening . I tried changing the owner of the perl folder to lfs user several times . Please Help !
Thanks in advance .

I've just quickly rerun the perl make and had no problems like you describe. you must have done something wrong earlier on in the build, to start what is the output of the version-check script, what are you building on, what command are you using to unpack the perl tarball and what is the result of

when you are in the extracted perl folder
First of all THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR REPLY . I am grateful to you , Please help me with this ,

To extract perl tarball I use option "EXTRACT HERE" by right-clicking the perl tarball.
My host system is Fedora 18 .
PS- I tried all over from beginning on another distro named "Linux Mint Maya" , however i get the same error .
While logged in as root in perl folder i ran 'stat .' The output was ,
PS- When i mount LFS drive on /mnt/lfs using the code
Code:
mount -v -t ext3 /dev/sda9 /mnt/lfs
the result is ,
mount: /mnt/lfs does not contain SELinux labels.
You just mounted an file system that supports labels which does not
contain labels, onto an SELinux box. It is likely that confined
applications will generate AVC messages and not be allowed access to
this file system. For more details see restorecon(8) and mount(8).
mount: /dev/sda9 mounted on /mnt/lfs
Is something related to SELinux labels why i get this make error ??
The version script is all good, The part about selinux I didnt have a problem with When I used Centos It complained the same but built all ok.
I dont know but your host version of perl is 5.16.2 weather this is the problem???
my host version of perl is 5.16.2 .
bt i dont think perl version is problem because when i was building it on linux mint maya , the host perl version on mint was different . at present i am building perl on fedora 18 with host perl version 5.16.2 .

the md5sum was alright . i tried redownloading the perl and the patch file . the patch file patches only one file named hints/linux.sh .
Still the same error .
Note - If i log in as root and then try compiling perl , it works all right . but after going ahead in the book , when i chroot and try to compile linux headers i get error that perl not found . Help please.
I dont think it,s the host I have built using Centos 6. Maybe as keith mention something went wrong earlier, Not sure about that as you have tried on another machine/host.
Yes others have built 7.2 ok no mention of problems that I recall.
Building 7.3 might through an error the same

To be honest i have tried doing all over again from first step atleast 6 times , so its little tough to digest that i may have done something wrong earlier . is the output of ls -l /mnt/lfs/sources alright spiky0011 ?
