Hi Peter, I had some "weird" problems the first few times I tried to build LFS. Here were some things that should *not* have been problematic, but seemed to contribute: Filesystem. Use the recommended ext3 (for some reason, Reiserfs was problematic in at least four attempts to build LFS.) Host system/configuration. If this is a laptop, try botting from the LFS liveCD using "linux acpi=off -noapic" Locale. Make sure locale and timezone are set correctly. Reboot and remount all drives- this looks like either the host distro has gcc installed in a nonstandard location, or that the path variable is incorrectly set. You could also try ALFS and see if it has the same problem. Using ALFS will eliminate typos. If you want to build LFS, you could also go back and make sure your environment is set up correctly-- remember that ` and' are two different characters.
Hopefully this isn't undercutting your level of technical savvy. We'll be waiting to hear how things go for you.

Last time I got this error and restarted, I really don't want to have to do that again :( thank pete -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
