Hello!
I am relatively new to linux (have been sucessfully running ubuntu since Sept of 2009) and wanted to see how an OS works.

I am making an LFS disribution from a host Ubuntu Jaunty system.
Here is the output of the version check script from Chapter 1 of the LFS v6.6 book:
"ilia@ilia-laptop:~$ bash version-check.sh
bash, version 3.2.48(1)-release
/bin/sh -> /bin/dash
Binutils: (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.19.1
bison (GNU Bison) 2.3
/usr/bin/yacc -> /usr/bin/bison.yacc
bzip2, Version 1.0.5, 10-Dec-2007.
Coreutils: 6.10
diff (GNU diffutils) 2.8.1
find (GNU findutils) 4.4.0
GNU Awk 3.1.6

GNU C Library stable release version 2.9
GNU grep 2.5.3
gzip 1.3.12
Linux version 2.6.28-18-generic (buildd@rothera) (gcc version 4.3.3 (Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) ) #60-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 04:40:52 UTC 2010

patch 2.5.9
Perl version='5.10.0';
GNU sed version 4.1.5
tar (GNU tar) 1.20
Texinfo: makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.11
Compilation OK"

I am at the first pass of installing BinUtils and the configuration and compilation seem to run fine (see logs below) but when I type "make install" I get the following error:



Here's the link to the folder containing the config.log, MakeFile and config.status:

Here's what I found about this error and I made sure to follow all the suggestions from these links but had no success anyway.
LFS mailing list:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/pipe...ry/035346.html
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/pipe...ne/035855.html
This was cited in one of the mailing lists, if anyone could translate again what was said here that would be great:

Now my questions are:
1) What is the source of the error?
2) How do I make sure the directory binutils is being installed to is actually located in /mnt/lfs as opposed to the root directory of my ubuntu system? I have made sure the variable LFS is /mnt/lfs. See the following:

Hi,

I must assume you are trying to install LFS 6.6 (please tell us this information).

Your host system is not up to specs (especially: bash vs dash vs sh), which you should have noticed (you did post the output of the version check script).

To make sure you have a sane host environment I would suggest using the LFS liveCD. This way you will not have any problems with your host system requirements and you don't have to change your current host (Ubuntu), which might have side effects.

Hope this helps.

Hi druuna,

Thanks for the response. The version of the LFS book is mentioned in the Subject of my post, it is indeed 6.6

I will give LiveLFS a shot and see how that goes.

Cheers!

Hi,
Sorry about that, my bad!
