Hello, I am trying to construct an LFS 6.3 system.

in the middle of the build for Glibc 2.5.1, I type "make" and it goes on for about five minutes then i get this: (sorry, it's really long)

mv -f /mnt/lfs/tools/glibc-build/s-proto.T /mnt/lfs/tools/glibc-build/s-proto.d

i have done everything by the book and i am using Ubuntu Dapper (6.06) as the host.

my hardware:

Dell Optiplex GX50 w/ 1.2 GHz Celeron CPU
512 MB RAM

thanks,
chris

PS: has anyone had as much trouble with LFS as I have? I have tried repeatedly, and I always get some kind of error. I am a persistent guy, so I won't stop until I get it built, cuz i hope to one day base my own distro off of it, and I want to be able to say that I completely compiled my own linux system from scratch when I was 15.

The problem is that you're compiling glibc in $LFS/tools. That's known to cause problems. You need to build the packages somewhere else, such as the book's suggested location $LFS/sources. Read the book again VERY carefully, you should read this passage

aww, crap. i screwed that one up. I was under the impression that you were supposed to build the programs under $LFS/tools.

thanks a million.
