the simple fact is that make does not find the program install in /usr/bin ... you might "locate install" and make a symlink in /usr/bin to point to the location(this might be the right answer), or install (which is part of coreutils) is not on your system (which is most probably not the right answer). I suppose install is in /bin so a "ln -snf /bin/install /usr/bin/install" should solve your problem. And yes, IMHO LFS is great for the linux community, especialy for all who don't want to install a distro which is far away from installing vanilla (gnu) software ... -- H CUH Rainer Peter Feller H -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
