linux:/mnt/lfs # ln -s $lfs/tools /
ln: `//tools': cannot overwrite directory
I also tried this while working in a home, & the root, directory with the same results. man ln lists the -s switch as meaning symbolic. What else can I do?
I googled a bit
of course, but don't really know what could cause this problem.
TIA

Ok...ln -s /mnt/lfs/tools / creates a link to /mnt/lfs (the target), with / as the link name...so the host's compiler, et al can be used, right? I get the same damn error if I say
ln -s /mnt/lfs/tools /.
echo $lfs yields /mnt/lfs
