This appears to only be a problem for reinstall. For LFS, the install done on both Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 should be first time installs and the problem does not arise. For reinstalls, I note that there are several places that use @LN_S@ that is generated by configure as 'ln -s'. About the only fix I can see is: sed -i "s/'ln -s'/'ln -sf'/" configure But that's not needed for the book. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
