Well, that's not going to work. I'll disregard all the sudo/su stuff you say later, as you've screwed up already without even having to worry about the other stuff. In binutils you should be in a binutils-build directory and then follow the book where it says to ../binutils-(version)/configure You've messed up the first package, hopefully this will be a lesson for you else you're in for a long, long road. Just follow the book for now, line by line without deviation. Once you learn the basics, then go back and try to do SBU calcs and other customizations. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.24] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 13:59:00 up 5 days, 6:22, 1 user, load average: 0.22, 0.23, 0.14 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
