Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Decided, on a whim really, to try LSF. Anyway, all was progressing nicely and I was learning as I went (I'm fairly new to the Linux World). However, when trying to sort out GCC in chapter 5 of the LS book, I get the following error:
lfs@Ed-Suse-MEGA180:/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build> ../gcc-3.4.3/configure --prefix=/tools \ --libexecdir=/tools/lib --with-local-prefix=/tools \ --disable-nls --enable-shared --enable-languages=c
configure: warning: --libexecdir=/tools/lib: invalid host type
configure: error: can only configure for one host and one target at a time
I'd really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction. I also note that the book does notgive an explanation of the --libexecdir option, which would interest me!
Build system, in case it is of import, is SuSE 10.0. I have not deviated from the book, as this is my first time at LSF, and so I have followed the advice to follow the book exactly!
Thanks.
Edit - I have realised that SuSE 10.0 uses GCC 4.0, which it appears elsewhere is not recommended - could this be where my problem lies? Just to clarify, this is pass 1 at GCC, in chapter 5.
