Darcy, That wasn't very helpful. I didn't want to write a script, but when I loaded it by typing it in, I ended up with the same results.
Yes dummy.c did compile and run, but with no output. In the book it advises one to "copy and paste" to avoid typing. But I don't know how I copy the text and then paste it as a command. I assumed the book meant to copy it into a script. If I am wrong, how do I copy the text and then paste it as a command?

I suggest not trying to run before walking by running home made scripts that are not adequate to deal with building an operating system. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
