I'm in a good mood, so I tried downloading it - it said the file had been downloaded 0 times, gave me adverts encouraging me to pay for the service, some pop-ups that firefox failed to trap, a countdown, looked up its .de server, then nothing. Went back, it said it had been downloaded once, so it seems to think it gave me the file. For problems in LFS, we normally ask people to post the error messages, and some context, in an email. You've identified that we need to see config.log, so I'm going to ask you to look at it and tell us the relevant message(s).
LFS is a learning experience, here you get to learn how to read config.log :) Open it in your favourite editor or viewer (on the host system). You will see that every test which the configure script ran generates a chunk of data, a reference to the line number in the configure script, and often an error message. Some errors are normal, it's how configure works out what you have and don't have. Search for the error message you got. It should be next to the test program that caused it (not usually interesting). Above that (maybe 20 to 50 lines before the error message) you should see one or more error message(s), probably from 'cpp' or 'ld'. It is, or they are, what we need to see to diagnose the problem. You will also see that the end of the config.log is a dump of the variables (not particularly useful for most problems in the LFS book). This means that you can't just look at the end of the log to find the last test that was run. In this case, I think you are at the first place within chroot where you need to use a compiler. My preliminary guess is a missing libgcc_s.so symlink, but the message within config.log may point to something else entirely (e.g. I've triggered this sort of thing with bad CFLAGS). Oh, and on the LFS lists I usually reply to the list only (a few people set the reply-to or whatever and I don't notice, in this case I did). ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
