I'm confused here DJ. AFAIK, the only changes to LFS svn are: cp -v ../glibc-2.14.1/sunrpc/rpc/*.h /usr/include/rpc cp -v ../glibc-2.14.1/sunrpc/rpcsvc/*.h /usr/include/rpcsvc cp -v ../glibc-2.14.1/nis/rpcsvc/*.h /usr/include/rpcsvc and the BLFS libtirpc instructions do basically the same thing WRT headers if wasn't done in LFS. What 'reversal of the GLibc changes in LFS' are you referring to? -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
