I don't believe in hand-holding. I like to give folks enough information to figure out what they did wrong and find out *for themselves* how to do it right. That is how you learn. Going through life having to have people show you exactly how to do something doesn't spark the initiative to do it yourself. And that is what the LFS project is all about: gaining knowledge. It doesn't take a "smart" person to figure out that if trying to apply a patch the book specifies doesn't work, then perhaps that person should step back and try and figure out for themselves what they did wrong. That person should assume that the book is correct, especially in applying a patch to a package as critical as Glibc. My message to you was "Try applying the patch to the proper package." With a smiley attached. This is by no means denigration. It is an honest effort to tell you what you did wrong, without telling you what to do. Sorry you took this wrong. If you are embarrassed because of my reply to you, I don't blame you. You should have tried to figure it out on your own what you did wrong. It wouldn't have been that difficult. Instead, you chose to write a message to the support list. My belief is that you didn't even try to figure out the problem. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 10:55:00 up 167 days, 10:28, 3 users, load average: 0.08, 0.07, 0.09 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
