Next I went looking for libs that may have gotten problems with them, ldd told me that rm, ls and mv are all linked to but then I found that mv is to and that is working so I assume that isn't the problem.
Those different programs use different functions from the C libraries. It's possible that the library ended up partially corrupt.
That would go with one of my first ideas
Other reasons for mysterious seg faults are hardware problems such as a bad CPU or RAM. If you have any spares, try swapping it out.
Am on that now. I didn't think it was this to start off with as some stuff seemed to work and the programs that didn't were braking all the time not just every now and again.
Hadn't thought of that, if the spare ram/proc dont help will give that a bash.
If it's a software issue related to Glibc, you could boot from a LFS LiveCD and build yourself a new Glibc and install that into your LFS system, overwriting the current Glibc. That might fix the problems right away.
thanks for the advice Gerard
