There is an inherent (documented in LFS Section 5.1) assumption made for every package that the instructions given assume that you have done: tar -xf <package-tarball> cd <package-root> Your first suggestion would be a good approach, but the second is a deviation form the norm. I would recommend the first alternative. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
