Not here, worked fine. I had the clang installed, the executables and libraries were built with no trouble. I did not have the CC= or CXX= lines prefacing configure.

Dunno, but at least we could provide instructions to move the docs after the installation? >> Also, there appears to be additional dependencies, TCL, OCaml, and Valgrind >> were looked for during the configure phase.

Again, perhaps that should be noted in the instructions so that folks don't spend 2.5 hours building something that they don't need. It should only be a "recommended" dependency if you have a Radeon card. :-) -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.23] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 17:33:00 up 15 days, 3:32, 6 users, load average: 0.45, 0.12, 0.08 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
