Everything has been okay in steps leading up until the make install step of bash-3.2. That step errors due to an apparently missing file. I am building on an ubuntu 8.04 system. I'm composing this on a windows box (where my email is) and I think something got lost in pasting from linux to wordpad. The test -z line file was probably something like t.gmo rather than en@quot.gmo. In any case, the fail messages begin in make[2] and are shown below with the missing file being t-ru.gmo:

lfs@front-office:/mnt/lfs/sources/bash-3.2$ make install

Any ideas?

Did you try and find the solution yourself? How about the LFS mailing list --> http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/pipe...ch/034365.html

I tracked down the posted link and apparently this error is a warning and can be ignored. Therefore, I'll proceed. Thanks
