Hence why I tried it as a throw-away solution.
Frankly, I do find it insulting that you assume I must have no
experience or so little as to be unable to follow a step-by-step
guide which is entirely focused towards learning. Do I make
mistakes? Of course. So do you. We all do. But having holes
in that knowledge and actively pursuing solutions before
turning to this list makes me "not meet the minimum
prerequisites"? Would you have prefered that, instead
of experimenting, I run to people more knowledgable
then myself and get spoon-fed answers before attempting
to solve it myself? If I was more interested in using
prepackaged solutions, I wouldn't be messing with
LFS. I'd be using an installed copy of Knoppix,
or Slackware, or something which didn't require more
then a pulse and time to install.
In the end, I ended up hitting pretty close to
the solution. Except instead of removing /tools/bin,
I added /usr/include. Next time, I know what to look
for. I've added to my knowledge. I have a wee bit
more experience.
It is good to learn by doing and experimenting. There is nothing wrong
with that. However, LFS *does* state it assumes a certain amount of
knowledge before you even start using it. Perhaps I *was* wrong in my
assumptions about your own skill level, but there are certain things
that you are expected to know, otherwise you are practically guaranteed
to have some major problems.
That being said, I am impressed, that, frankly, you have been a lot more
polite than I probably would have been. :p Also, it seems that my
comment to you was based on a false assumption of what you were doing to
fix the problem (I've re-read it and realized I had read it wrong the
first time around) so I am sorry for saying that.
