One way to make sure you are using the exact instructions is to create a short script for the package. For example: #!/bin/bash tar -xf package cd package configure ... 2>&1 | tee pkg.log make 2>&1 | tee -a pkg.log make install 2>&1 | tee -a pkg.log Then it's reproducible and you can narrow down issues with the logs. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
