No, the "test" it is referring to is done at the end of "make install". It even specifies this at the beginning of the text you just copied-and-pasted from the book. If you *are* getting a large number of testsuite errors, something else is wrong.

Most likely you mistyped something in the Perl instructions. Remove the Perl source dir, double-check the commands you type, and try again. Also, if anything actually *was* installed in /usr/local, that means you became root...never do that if the book doesn't tell you to. BTW the symlink will no longer be valid after you chroot. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
