Hi Arnie,

BLFS-6.1 is getting pretty long in the tooth. We could put some fixes
on the errata page for 6.1, but it might be better to see the page in
the current development book. This will become stable very soon (in
fact it is very stable, we're just getting LFS-6.2 released now). The
development page also addresses your concern about jpeg.

Hi Dan,
Thanks. I'm too far into 6.1 to start over on 6.2 at least with GNOME. Maybe after I get that up and running I can switch to 6.2 for the other things I need. On a different note, I'm trying to compile gtk+-1.2.10 which is required for ESP Ghostscript. BTW, an aside to that is I already have gtk+-2.8.7 I think it is which was compiled for something else. At least one reason I need to go back to 1.2.10 is that it contains gtk-config which is also required by EPSGS. Can I just install the gtk-config or will it barf if I don't have the rest of the package installed (I'm assuming it will) and if that is the case would it be prudent to re-install the newer version after I get EPSGS to install? Anyway back to my current dilemma. In the configure script for gtk+-1.2.10 there is a section which is failing:

# Actually configure libtool.  ac_aux_dir is where install-sh is found.
CC="$CC" CFLAGS="$CFLAGS" CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS" \
LD="$LD" LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS" LIBS="$LIBS" \
LN_S="$LN_S" NM="$NM" RANLIB="$RANLIB" \
DLLTOOL="$DLLTOOL" AS="$AS" OBJDUMP="$OBJDUMP" \
${CONFIG_SHELL-/bin/sh} $ac_aux_dir/ltconfig --no-reexec \
$libtool_flags --no-verify $ac_aux_dir/ltmain.sh $lt_target \
|| { echo "configure: error: libtool configure failed" 1>&2; exit 1; }

I am getting the error message noted in the last line. The last few lines of output from configure before it sends the error above and dies looks like this:

loading cache ./config.cache within ltconfig
ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify'
Try `ltconfig --help' for more information.

A few lines above that it said:

checking host system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized checking build system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized

The rest of the output looked normal, to me anyway. I'm hoping someone has more of a clue as to what is happening than I do. Am I still supposed to be getting the "unknown" in my triplet? This is a pure 64 build of CLFS running on an AMD64 Athlon X2. Is that what is causing the rest of the errors or are you aware of something I'm missing? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Arnie
