My host system for the build in question was LFS 9.1 on a x86_64 architecture. Sadly I do not have logs of the build process. Looking back through the instructions up to Libstdc++, the only thing I did different was trying to build shadow in chapter 6, failing, and then building it before Libstdc++ in Chap. 7. I did this, as it is required by the package user system. I'll try to get some better logging of the install going for the next release ;) Daniel -- 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.
