------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
i have been using LFS 6.1 since it came out.
i started using 6.5 and JHALFS but it built an unstable system so i
decided to do it manually.
i've gotten upto man-db and ran into an error i can't figure out so i'm
dumping the configure log here.
I'm hoping it's a user error, but i can't see it...
Can someone take a look at the config log below and shed some light?
Both 2.5.5 and 2.5.6 give me the same error. This configure log is from
2.5.6.
