Very strange. I've just looked at my own logs for 10.1 and see no reference to 'libfl' in the build of libstdc++ and it was only installed in chapter 8. I doubt we will get an answer at this stage about why you got differnet results (it's very hard to identify where an error happened after you have worked around it), unless you logged the original error message and some lines before it to give context. For the future (I'm assuming that someone else might see this one day), what was your host distro/version and is this x86_64 or i686 ? And did you knowingly do *anything* different before the error ? ĸen -- On average, the Panda feeds for 15 hours a day.
