First, a further moan - I dunno what mailer you are using, but your text in googlemail comes through at twice the size of everyone else's postings. Makes it very *hard* to read. And now a suggestion - in binutils, and some other packages (in particular, gcc and probably glibc) there are multiple config.log files in various subdirectories. Whenever configure blows up, you need to find the appropriate (newest) config.log. What you then need to do is search for the error message, in this case "error: C compiler cannot create executables". Use your favourite editor to search, or failing that, use "less". It's easiest to do this from the host system. In the lines before that error message (perhaps a screenful, sometimes a little more) will be the actual error reported by the program configure had tried to compile and run. Typically, something like an error reported by 'ld'. That error is key to diagnosing the problem. ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
