Ken's suggestion sounds like a good one, although I would do it slightly differently. Build glibc-2.3.6 with the _same_ prefix as you used on your LFS 5.0 system, but just install to a different location, like this: make install_root=/tmp/glibc236 install (The install_root make variable functions for glibc like DESTDIR does for many other packages.) You can then just replace your /etc/localtime symlink with the appropriate file from the new build, like this: rm -f /etc/localtime && cp /tmp/glibc236/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York -- Barius -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
