It should work fine there. > Specifically, I am trying to get the "tail" utility, but it doesn't > make any difference if I just try and compile it or the whole > package. Hopefully you are starting with the whole package first.

Stop. The lib should be made before making tail. This will happen if doing a make at the top level directory. At the very least you would need to run make in the lib directory first. A typical build will go like this: tar xzvf coreutils-X.Y.tar.gz cd coreutils-X.Y ./configure make make check It looks to me like you are not doing a top level make but instead moving into the ./src directory and doing the make there, skipping the lib building step. I would go ahead and build everything even if you don't install everything. The build can take a little while on slower machines and some patience may be required. But that is the simplest course of action. That is the path which is the most well tested.
