Bruce, I have full confidence jhalfs will build successfully on this box. It's a decent, if aging (as everything I run is), ASUS P5K-VM MoBo with a Conroe and 4GB RAM, showing no instability. (Had my share of THOSE this year! >8-( ) I understand too, I can just kick it off and go away, do other things, until it finishes. I just don't see how that helps me identify where I've gone wrong. I accept I'm going to have to startover, but with the gcc build script, startover with Ch6, all the way to the start of Ch5, or from the get go? And was it most likely something I fumble-fingered between scripts, or does an abi-check suggest something more specific that the gcc build would be sensitive to? For the most part I've been successful building LFS so far, finding and fixing mistakes, but not this one. I'm beginning to be suspicious it's the root environment, but I really, really want to force it to build for ANY i686, not just Conroe's and above. I've still got useful Pentium-3's! I've learned a whole lot from LFS in the last decade, thanks to you all, but I've gotten old (70) and I'm not as sharp as I was. I know that. 8'-( It's hard! It comes to us all, but that's no consolation. -- Paul Rogers [email protected] http://www.xprt.net/~pgrogers/ Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
