i restarted more than once. not only using my scripts which run fine when building from an lfs host, but also by cut and paste, thus i don't know how or where i could mess up. > > If you really want to be sure, you can tell that from Glibc's configure > and make output - just look to make sure it's using $LFS_TGT-gcc instead > of plain "gcc". > exactly that's the problem. there is no prefix to gcc. and that was the reason to use the CC/AR/RANLIB setup as in gcc/binutils pass 2. my $LFS_TGT is exactly as in the book: i686-lfs-linux-gnu (uname -m gives i686). my $PATH is as mentionned in the book too: /tools/bin:/bin:/usr/bin. both are set in the users profile as mentionned in 4.4 - i really did the book step by step from the beginning. the problem only occurs with a xubuntu 9.10 host. not with an lfs host. (maybe i'll give a try so some other life-distros when i have finished this build - it is no big deal as the error occurs very early in the build process). as nobody confirmed the behaviour and my workaround fits fine for me i'll stop arguing... btw: maybe someone can confirm the compile runs fine with xubuntu, then i'll try again - meanwhile i'm happy with my fix as it has shown no side-effects. the base-system is up and running and i now go on with the serices i need on this server. tobias -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
