Hi,

When I tried to install perl, i got following on "make test"
[shell]
Failed 3 tests out of 1423, 99.79% okay.
../ext/Sys/Syslog/t/syslog.t
../ext/threads/t/join.t
../lib/Archive/Extract/t/01_Archive-Extract.t

not sure what i need to do, i tried to run ./perl harness but there's no
such file in the directory.

Thanks for help! :)

Does this mean you've fixed your <bits/errno_values.h> errors?

You missed the 'cd t' step, and it's likely the LD_LIBRARY_PATH bit is
important too, if you've built a shared libperl.so. harness lives in the
t directory (and there's a symlink to ../perl in there as well). These
failures are *probably* not a problem, at any rate not unless you will
be using syslog, threads, or Archive::Extract (which is used by
CPANPLUS, btw). It may be worth running the tests individually to
confirm they are unimportant failures, however.
