It will be excruciating, maybe not quite so much with diff, but I think I'll do a line-by-line comparison to see if I can ferret out any more differences. When I have a problem building LFS, in the absence of similar problems by anyone else, I conclude that the problem is me--typos, knowledge or loss of brain--or my host system. Since I've not seen any report about similar situations, that conclusion is operative. If it's me, I haven't found it yet so I'm thinking about the host system. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. I've seen postings in the last couple of months about folks, who run the same host, having problems. The PS1 thing is a good example. I'm wondering if something from Ubuntu didn't "creep" into the tool chain. Last year, I built the basic CLFS-multilib system using Ubuntu 9.[whatever it is.] I had no problems. Luckily, because I don't trust anything but LFS, I backed it up to my external drive, just in case the upgrade "gorked." I'm thinking about booting to it and using it as the host for my build. Since my adventures of the other day, something, and I don't remember precisely what it was--maybe I just wanted to shoot glibc, I started from scratch--no pun intended. But I didn't reformat the hard drive partition. I wanted to start just from building, but realized that when I deleted /tools, I needed to do more than jump in and go. My thinking is leading me to wipe out the partition and start again. My hunch, and that's all it is--no data, says that the culprit is the host system. Based on all the reasons why I hate distros and windoze, I'm leaning that way. I know, even using hunches, that troubleshooting is a process of elimination. I don't know what to eliminate first. I do know that I can `source .bashrc` for the lfs user in order to get the environment I want. An easier method is if someone has a remastered LiveCD later than 6.3. I've never had a problem with a build using that LiveCD. What do you think of my logic? Do you see other alternatives? If not, what would you choose from what I've said? Thanks again. Dan P.S. I'm not necessarily interested in time compressed solutions. I retired two months ago so troubleshooting my build and playing on eHarmony this weekend are pretty attractive. :) -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
