My impression is that anybody using that hint is just building up problems for themself. Over the years we have seen lots of weird and unique problems (on the support lists) which turn out to be caused by people following that hint. OTOH, perhaps there are lots of people who used the hint without apparent problems and never subscribed to the lists - I can only go by the posts I have seen over the years. However, in your case I think you are perhaps not ready to try any deviation from the book (once you have completed and successfully booted a first build, with enough of BLFS to make the system minimally-usable to you, then trying another build with changes (scripting, package management) is a great way to learn. The reason I think that you are not ready to try any variations is that you have not yet learned to diagnose simple errors. Two hints: 1. Do the file, and the destination directory, exist ? I hope that /tools/bin exists, otherwise your problems are a lot more serious. I believe that the instructions for coreutils, and the defaults, have changed over the years. Perhaps you need to pass an extra argument to configure. 2. When you are in chroot, 'no such file or directory' probably means that a program, or a library it uses, was built in chapter 5 but managed to link to _host_ libraries which are no longer available. ĸen -- This one goes up to eleven! -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
