The first column is from the 7.7 Host System Requirements, so the second column must be from CentOS.
So, gawk and xz are subject to the comment " Earlier versions of the listed software packages may work, but has not been tested.", but why mention glibc (2.12 is > 2.5.1 and <= 2.21), grep (2.20 > 2.5.1a), texinfo (4.13 > 4.7) ? Oh, and 7.7 is, of course, obsolete. Why not just use the current release ? In 7.8, glibc-2.11 is the minimum, so 2.12 would still be fine. ĸen -- This email was written using 100% recycled letters. -- 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.
