Re: [lfs-support] LFS Problem Section 5.4 Version 7.2
Thanks for the help! I failed to realize the dash/bash difference. I assumed mint uses bash -_-' oops. and i'll get on to installing texinfo as well. Thanks!

I thought gcc was installed due to the version check gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3 But I'll definitely try installing it. also, if you don't mind me asking, if mint simply isn't the right host system to use, do you have any suggestions? First of all, don't send support requests directly to me. LFS Support is the proper forum. Second, don't top post. Third, Mint is probably fine if the host requirements are met. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

I don't know how mint handles packages, but The three above need to be installed. For gcc Google says: sudo apt-get install gcc g++ autoconf automake bison flex libtool You probably want to add bash and texinfo to that. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

There are enough examples of this on google to suggest that ubuntu mispackaged gcc, or even broke their packaging during gcc-4.4 - it seems to be fairly common that ubuntu users end up with gcc but without cc1 ! ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
