I'd prefer not to have the reference to the ticket in the book. Perhaps it would be better to just say something to the effect that xindy was not rebuilt due to a problem with the tarball's install procedure. Also, the page needs some white space touchups. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

The instructions are spread over many lines, and some of the instructions are unusual. I find the extra blank lines help to break it up into more comprehensible sections.

Actually a couple of spaces before the lines between the pushd/popd would be nice. Also add a blank line before the 2nd configure. Finally, we like to line up the backslashes, , --options, etc to let the readers see the regularity in the instructions. Something like: pushd ../utils/asymptote echo ac_cv_lib_m_sqrt=yes config.cache echo ac_cv_lib_z_deflate=yes config.cache ./configure LIBS=-ltirpc \ --prefix=/opt/texlive/2013 \ --bindir=/opt/texlive/2013/bin/x86_64-linux \ --datarootdir=/opt/texlive/2013/texmf-dist \ --infodir=/opt/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/doc/info \ --mandir=/opt/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/doc/man\ --enable-texlive-build \ --cache-file=config.cache popd -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
