Only if you read too much into things. Think about it. The instructions say to unpack the package tarball. If one cannot determine that the package tarball means the package listed in the header of the page, then perhaps that person is not ready for LFS. If one understands that they simply unpack the tarball listed on the header of the page, change directories into the newly created directory and then *follow the book's instructions*, everything works perfectly. Brett, I am not trying to make you out that you cannot understand the instructions. I'm saying you don't understand the concept. 1. Unpack tarball 2. Change directories to the newly created directory 3. Follow the book's instructions What is unclear about that? I will now discontinue my involvement in this thread as I do not want to be redundant. The instructions *are* clear, you just are not seeing the forest through the trees (the instructions are there, you are just trying to add to the instructions your interpretation of them). -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.23] [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] 20:18:01 up 11:27, 1 user, load average: 0.52, 0.25, 0.13 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
