[Gumstix-users] Perl-5.8.8 build problems

[John W. <cap...@gm...>]

Hello All,
    I sent an email to this list earlier in the month (9th May) with 
subject: "Can't build initial OE checkout"

shortly after my email another hit the list from David Frank with 
subject :"gumstix-oe bitbake perl-5.8.8-r25"

My build problems were in perl-5.8.8-r13 I've read a few people having a 
problem with building on a USB Drive which is what I'm doing as I'm 
trying to build this on an Eee PC with limited memory. I'm having no 
luck on what I'm trying. I can build it from an ubuntu machine onto a 
USB drive so I'm not sure if that's the problem.

This time I've a smaller question. Can I remove Perl-5.8.8 from my 
gumstix-basic-image and have the gumstix still work or is that going to 
cause more trouble then it's worth? If it can be removed from the build 
is there a recommended method to remove it?

thanks for any advice.

John
