It isn't acceptable. I've never seen anything like this. The report of 'Error 1' without an actual error message makes me wonder if you caught stdout in a file but didn't catch stderr ? Apart from that, please make sure that you delete any build directory as well as the extracted source after you have installed each package. So, in this case, please delete the binutils-build and binutils-2.21.1a directories before you try again. Did you fail to install texinfo in chapter 5 ? A quick test for that is to try running 'info' or 'info libc'. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
