Hi,
Sorry, if this is the wrong place for posting a couple of errors i've
found in the LFS-6.1 book. Anyway...
__
Chapter 6.14 GCC-3.4.3
I think there is an error in the second-last instruction. It says:
> Some packages expect the C preprocessor to be installed in the /lib
directory. To support those packages, create this symlink:
> ln -s ../usr/bin/cpp /lib
At this point the user is in the directory '/sources/gcc-build/'. A
single '..' only places you in the 'sources/' directory. I believe the
command should be either:
< ln -s /usr/bin/cpp /lib
or:
< ln -s ../../usr/bin/cpp /lib

Chapter 2.4 Mounting the New Partition
This is more of a suggestion than an error, but I may as well put it in
here.
In the previous chapter you described the procedure for making a new
swap partition if the user wants to. I thought that it may be a good
idea to place something like the following near the end of this chapter:
< If you have created a new swap partition in the previous chapter
called '/dev/yyy', activate for use by issueing the command:
< swapon /dev/yyy
Thanks for an excellent book,
Jath Palasubramaniam
