It looks like Nettle 3.4.1 is only installed in /usr/lib64/. Also, the book tries to chmod in /usr/lib/ and complains because the files don't exist (I blew away my old installation). Also, even after running ldconfig, the gnutls configure script is looking for it in /usr/lib/. So, the files need to be copied to /usr/lib (after running chmod). -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
