I see the pcre html docs are not installed, maybe:
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/pcre-5.0
install -v -m644 doc/html/* /usr/share/doc/pcre-5.0
Good catch, David. I've been trying to update all the packages that
don't install docs
Hi all,
Mostly to DJ, FYI for everyone else. I believe you may have fixed the
bug at http://blfs-bugs.linuxfromscratch.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1164
but I'm not certain. If so, could you close it out?
Thanks.

These questions are for both books. (And yes, I know some answers will
differ between books, but it would be nice to have a concise answer to
them sitting in one place on each of the respective ml's. Perhaps the

Yes, of course. Will be fixed.
Also you added XFS-2.6.25 to the list of dependencies. Please forgive my

Hi folks,
Here's an updated patch, as the existing one doesn't apply to the latest

Checking BLFS, I see a few more, but none using the baskreference notation.
Thanks for the agreement on the learning experience, Bruce. However,
it makes for an ugly sed. I don't like the fact that we have to
escape the * (asterisk) in the

Updating to use user/root instructions:
Balsa-2.2.6 wont compile. I'm using gcc-3.4.4.
You really should be using gcc-3.4.3 as this is what will be
in LFS-6.1. I hope there is not any incompatibilities that will
somehow affect our BLFS-6.1

Would there be any objections to creating a symlink or wrapper script
