The important note #1 in ch 5.3 is clear. However, "General Compilation Instructions" never specifies the flow of events expected to follow: 1 - make sure $LFS is set to the target directory (export LFS=/mnt/lfs) 2 - change directory to $LFS/sources 3 - unpack the package tarball 4 - change directory to the unpacked directory created by tar 5 - follow package build and install instructions 6 - change directory to $LFS/sources 7 - remove the unpacked directory created by tar At least I can't remember where that is. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
