Hi guys: Just to let you know that I finish my fourth lfs build (6.6) this time and it was a success!!, I use to modify some lfs steps about the partition,etc to make all in a vmware virtual machine and is nicely booting now! Thanks to the lfs developers, lfs is a great tool to teach others

After I get that completed I am going to try using the LFS-6.3 with BLFS-6.3-svn to build LFS 6.6. All of this would be using i686. I can try building LFS-6.6 after I get the LFS-6.3 up and running then I can to the LFS-6.3 BLFS combo. I agree, in part, with linuxfan's point that all that

Some time back (LFS 6.4), I discovered that perl's configure program can poison the build; it is designed to be extremely helpful by ferreting out features of the host system to support. Specifically in my case, because it found libgdbm on the host system, it configured perl to include support

My understanding is that Paul came upon an error while building 6.6 from 6.1. When he reported this error here the overall reply was that he should try a more recent build to start with. Paul objects because the 6.6 book stated 6.1 would suffice. Actually, 6.1 mostly exceeds the 6.6 HSR's.
