command time, which seems ambiguous.

Subject: [Clfs-support] link to bash, CLFS book
CLFS-TRUNK-SVN-20080719/ppcCLFS-TRUNK-SVN-20080719/ppc
Good morning. In section 7.3 of book CLFS-TRUNK-SVN-20080719/ppc
the command 'ln -sv bash ${CLFS}/bin/sh' fails to find bash (first
arg), as did a similar command ("ln -sv bash /tools/bin/sh") in section
6.6.1.
It's hard to tell which bash is being assigned.
Is the path to bash implied by the second argument, which is an explicit
path and filename?
I note that the other commands in this section have explicit pathnames.
Can someone please clarify?
PS build system is Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant Update 4)
Not sure what you mean "failed to find bash." The command is correct.
The link's target "bash" is relative to the location of the link, which
is /tools/bin (or ${CLFS}/tools/bin).
