Hello,
This is my second attempt to post this here. I beat the confirmation
e-mail by posting to the list and receieve the bounce that it was waiting
the list moderators approval and that was on the 5th.
I have also posted this error on the devleopers website on the 3rd of Feb
and no responce there either.
I really do not know how you can say that compiling java from scratch
following EXACTLY the instructions given works on a BLFS build as it
clearly does NOT. Though this is the output from a later version, the at
the time book version 2.4.1 gives the same unknow option to s sed error
message.
I do not know enough about the substitution strings in sed to know if by
chaning the / to another character if it would actually in an unknown way
create errors down the track if compilation was successful. It would seem
to me that no one has actually followed the printed instructions through
to see if it actually does compile.
I am by no means a newbie to linux. I have done technical writing and
have followed through the instructions that I wrote to make sure there
were no errors.

I really would appreciate it if someone could actually check and see if
they get a successful compilation without going through and having to edit
the Makefile. It is a long build for me as I only have a duel core
processor. I tried the compilation several times, each time totally
deleting the build directory to make sure that there were no left over
files.
It would seem that if the developer is not even interested in
acknowledging the error that we are on our own with it.
Regards,
Christopher
