It means posting above what you are replying to. On this list, try to reply immediately below what you are replying to (like this), and trim what you quote so that it's easy to follow the individual messages. For example, > thanks! > > | /* confdefs.h. */ > | > | #define PACKAGE_NAME "GNU C Library" [...] > | /* end confdefs.h. */ > | #include <stdio.h> > | #if HAVE_SYS_TYPES_H > | # include <sys/types.h> > | #endif You don't seem to have any messages saying that one or more headers can't be found, and stdio.h is included unconditionally, so that suggests the headers are reasonable. > configure:7509: error: cannot compute sizeof (long double), 77 > See `config.log' for more details. > And, you don't have any other error messages for this part of configure. But, to get to line 7509 I guess at least _some_ of the earlier tests in 'configure' did compile. At this point, I don't know what the problem is. Please look again at your config.log to see if there is anything *relevant* in the lines in front of this (don't just copy-and-paste a big chunk, look for error messages associated with this test for sizeof long double). You might want to look at the configure script itself around line 7509, to get a feel for how it is set out, and to identify which was the test it ran just before this - then you can search for the message from the result of the previous test in the log and read forward. If there really are no other error messages from this test, copy the full test program into a file and try to run it by hand to see if that gives you error messages. After that, you'd better disclose what is unusual, or even unique, about your system - these tests in configure are expected to show why they fail ;-) But, if you go far enough outside the expectations, things do break in exotic ways, so now's the time to tell us if you're trying to follow the LFS book on something that isn't an i686 processor, and also to tell us what host distro you are using.
