LFS 7.2 - Chapter 6.9.2 - zic: Can't open sh yearistype.sh

Hello folks,

thank you very much for your help until now!

I am trying to install the time zone data in chapter 6.9.2.

After

Code:

root:/sources/7.2/glibc-build# for tz in etcetera southamerica northamerica europe africa antarctica asia australasia backward pacificnew solar87 solar88 solar89 systemv; do 

zic -L /dev/null -d $ZONEINFO -y "sh /sources/7.2/glibc-build/yearistype.sh" ${tz}; 

zic -L /dev/null -d $ZONEINFO/posix -y "sh /sources/7.2/glibc-build/yearistype.sh" ${tz}; 

zic -L leapseconds -d $ZONEINFO/right -y "sh /sources/7.2/glibc-build/yearistype.sh" ${tz}; done

I get

Code:

zic: Can't open sh /sources/7.2/glibc-build/yearistype.sh: No such file or directory

several times.

I tried relative and also absolute paths for the file. The strange thing is that the file exists in my glibc-build folder. When I type "sh yearistype.sh" it recognizes the file.
I also set the executable bit ...

WTF??

Okay when the variable ZONEINFO is not set, one gets this error. Strange world and why was the variable not set ...
echo $TIMEZONE was empty

Why don't you just follow the book?

Code:

"sh /sources/7.2/glibc-build/yearistype.sh"

"sh yearistype.sh"
