Nice discovery! :-) Now it makes me wonder if anyone is actually using the BLFS book method of building Firefox. I know there has been much talk of the profile issue, and resolutions for it. I will be examining this after the 6.1 release to see if we shouldn't use the Moz installer to install the binaries, instead of the current 'make install'. Seems weird that nobody has reported this whitespace thing. That is why I wonder if anyone actually uses the book method. > I'll change the firefox instructions back, but alter the formatting of > the instructions so that they can be cut and pasted. If this is what we have to do to make it work, then so be it. :-) The instructions will look funny in the book, but that is better than a broken build. Cut-and-paste ability is without question mandatory. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 09:40:00 up 120 days, 9:13, 2 users, load average: 0.10, 0.19, 0.26 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
