How did that happen? You should be installing with --prefix=/tools in Ch.5.

The syntax above is right if you have the file /tools/bin/tclsh8.4. You can issue it from any directory, too. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
