Unfortunately we have not updated our source server for 6.5, but 6.6-rc1 is available: ftp://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/LFS/lfs-packages > I solved the glibc problems I was having with 6.5 (my base installation > uses mawk instead of gawk and, although I had installed gawk and thought > I'd set the link up correctly, obviously I did something wrong as it > still pointed to mawk.

You've probably missed a newline or single quote somewhere. That is a complicated structure. You might try putting it into a file and executing `sh filename`. If it doesn't work, you can review and retry. Note that if you run it more than once, $(file).orig may need to start the package over with unpacking. I don't now what your environment looks like, but you can also cut/paste the instructions. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
