I am using the liveCD, and when logged in as lfs gcc works fine, its after I chroot into the new environment that the gcc becomes problematic. $PATH = /bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin I believe that's correct

Thanks for the reminder on the ticks that was a problem for me in the beginning but I no longer have long since resolved that issue. But I guess my question still remains.. why isn't gcc working in the new environment?
