Renaming files is a bit messy. A cleaner solution is to do: CC=gcc CXX=G++ ./confgure ... A note in the book to this effect would be useful. I also ran into a similar problem when compiling mysql but I haven't solved that yet. I tried the mysql alternative, mariadb, but that failed with the bison-3 problem and I haven't solved that one either. jb. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
