Another 'Doh!' for the record. A couple of days ago, when I was beginning the project, I ran the little 'version-check.sh' script -- updated a couple of the missing or out-of-date tools but got interrupted and missed the 'gawk' as well as 'bison' and 'm4'. Thanks for the heads-up on that. > Besides the Host System Requirements, it appears you missed a note on > page 5.3, that says to delete the source and build dirs after each > installation. Mm. I *did* delete and remake the build dir after the errors that prompted this thread, but I didn't rebuild the src dir (e.g. with a fresh unpack from tarball) because I'm still in pass 1, and I thought that config would only write stuff into the bld tree and not the src tree. Was I dead wrong, or just imprudent? -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
