This has happened to me on seemingly random occasions (though I very much doubt its random). The problem seems to be related to how they create a wrapper script to call their binary that they hide inside of their source code directory. They "hide" the actual binary in ld/.libs/ld-new (the libs has a period before it). I could never understand why they would want to hide a binary in such a way.. I've added the following command to my scripts to handle the case should it happen: if [ -e ld/.libs/ld-new ] ; then cp -v ld/.libs/ld-new bin/ ; else cp -v ld/ld-new /bin/ ; fi -- Kevin Day -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
