Yeah, that's not a problem. > > I went through a few of the mail archives, and I realized that I had > made a mistake in the configparams file - I have rectified it. > > $ cat configparams > CFLAGS += -march=i486 -mtune=native The problem with configparms would definitely be the cause of the errors you got, so they should have gone away once you redid it.

Please see page 5.3, particularly in this case the last "Note" box. It says that for each package, you must unpack the package tarball, cd into the source dir, *then* follow instructions on the installation page. Therefore, you should already be in Glibc's source directory when you create the build dir. Also, if you have managed to create /mnt/lfs/glibc-build, you had to have either chowned/chmodded /mnt/lfs, or created glibc-build as root (or using sudo), neither of which the book says to do. If you did use chown or chmod on /mnt/lfs, you should change it back (owned by root, 755 perms). -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
