Most of them will create a directory when you extract them. But for this tarball the book does NOT do it on its own - it is dealt with as part of glibc. For *every* package: extract it when the book tells you, remove the extracted files at the end of the page (but keep the source tarball) and work your way through the book, one package at a time. If ever a package fails to compile, stop and ask for advice. ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- 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.
