Please help me

Hi,

Based on the very limited information you give: You are probably using a host that is not up to specs (check here)

This is based on the following:

cd . && autoconf
/bin/sh: autoconf: command not found
make: *** [configure] Error 127

This tells you that autoconf cannot be found.

Other assumptions I made:

- You are installing LFS 6.2,
- You ar at chapter 5.25. Patch-2.5.4 (and not 6.48. Patch-2.5.4),
- You are not using the LFS liveCD.

Hello,
You may want to leave out the "CPPFLAGS=-D_GNU_SOURCE" if you are not using it on a PowerPc.

Thanks for Answers ... but
i using LFS (Linux From Scratch - Version 6.1.1) on suse 10
gcc-3.4.2,Bash-2.05,Binutils-2.12,Bzip2-1.0.2Coreutils-5.0,Diffutils-2.8,Findutils-4.1.20,Gawk-3.0
Glibc-2.2.5,Grep-2.5,Gzip-1.2.4,Make-3.79.1,Patch-2.5.4,Sed-3.0.2,Tar-1.14
i'm at chapter 5.24. Patch-2.5.4
but yet i have this problem at Patch-2.5.4
cd . && autoconf
/bin/sh: autoconf: command not found
make: *** [configure] Error 127
Please help me

Hello,
I am assuming you don't use a PowerPc
Try "./configure --prefix=/tools"
Hope that helps.

thanks for answer status1
i used ./configure --prefix=/tools but yet i have this problem
at make
cd . && autoconf
/bin/sh: autoconf: command not found
make: *** [configure] Error 127

(PowerPc)
my system intel(R) Pentium(R) 4CPU 2.40GHz

Hello,
Sorry, but I was under the impression that this was happening during configure based on the first line in your original post
"linux:/mnt/patch-2.5.4 # CPPFLAGS=-D_GNU_SOURCE ./configure --prefix=/tools"

If that problem was at make than I don't have a solution since I did not come across that problem at make
