======================================================================= Thanks for getting back to me. ldd /tools/bin/gcc gives : /tools/bin/ldd: line 124: /tools/bin/gcc: No such file or directory The ldd command works OK - I tested it against 'make' and 'sed' and it listed all the librarys for those programs. So, the shared librarys are not being seen. Were these supposed to be created or linked in section '5.6.1 Installation of glibc'? (Or have I made a complete mess of compiling gcc in stage 5 on two seperate occasions?!?) I notice that there is a switch, '--with-headers=/tools/include' in the configure option for glibc. I copied and pasted that text directly during the configuration of glibc (section 5.6.1) and have just had a look in the /tools/include directory - there are loads of (*.h) header files sitting in there, but I don't know which ones (if any) would be required to compile gcc? _________________________________________________________________ Be one of the first to try Windows Live Mail. http://ideas.live.com/programpage.aspx?versionId=5d21c51a-b161-4314-9b0e-4911fb2b2e6d-- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
