I am sending this because it seems that lsb-release is necessary for vala tests. Please, somone check it.

I had a system melt down due to having to change a primary partition due to running out of space and having around 300gigs of spare space unusable due to the fact all primary partitions were already allocated. Changed disk to gpt and it wiped a couple of partitions, which as it turns out was a great thing. Went through the release candidate for LFS and have also gone through most of the BLFS setup. I hate to admit this, but in reading through the thread, you hit the nail on the head when you said that you thought that I had not set up the lsb_release correctly in the final part of LFS. I had totaly forgotten to go back through and do the final configuration on it, as I was not entirely sure at the time that it was a neccessarry file, though I had done a partial configuration, namely changing it to 7.4. This time I made sure that it was configured fully. I was able to successfully complete the build without changing anything in the Makefile. I was asked which make file I had edited, it was: /icedtea-2.4.1/openjdk-boot/jdk/make/java/version There is only the Makefile in that directory, and I changed: -e 's/@@distro_name@@/$(DISTRO_NAME)/g' \ to:-e 's/@@distro_name@@/$(DISTRO_NAME)%g' \ which is what allowed me to complete the compilation. I know it was that line that I changed and am almost positive that it was the second to last / that I changed. Having the lsb_release set correctly also cleared up an issue that I had installing vala and the vala test not being able to find its own path in the tests. Now when I do the commands I get: lsb_release -ds "Linux From Scratch" lsb_release -is Linux From Scratch Sorry for putting you folk through this, but I am glad that you were able to help me pin-point what I had forgotten to do. I hate mysteries.
