Hi Matt, Thanks for your reply. I've had no disk space left errors before while building a heavy package (glibc or gcc). This was after much activity so I believe it was due to the USB drive that the LFS is on over heating. After a break everything was normal.
This time however, there are no such errors and there is definitely disk space left. Furthermore, I untarred the links package from scratch and ran configure and sure enough, there is a valid Makefile generated. But for packages such as less and sed, the configure just makes empty files. There is nothing that stands out to me in the config.log. At the end there is a line: configure: exit 0. There is a bunch of programs that fail to compile, but those look designed to fail. At the top there are a few commands that "equal" unknown, such as "/bin/arch = unknown" and "/usr/bin/arch -k = unknown" but I doubt that has anything to do with the problem. Other than that, I can't find anything in the log that shows any signs of error. I am worried that something is very wrong internally. The strange thing is that configure fails for all packages I've tried except for the links package. Any other packages I should try that can help diagnose the problem? Or any commands I can run that can show why configure can't write to the Makefiles? (at least that's the problem on the surface) Thanks, Alex On Wed, Jan 2, 2013 at 4:09 AM, Matthew Burgess < [email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, 2 Jan 2013 03:22:14 -0500, Alexander Spitzer <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > The configure command runs with no errors.
