thanks for all your replies. i try to summarise. i use the same scripts i always use to build. as mentionned, i used to start from within an older lfs to build a new one. with this configuration i recently had no problems. now i just wanted to try it from withing a gui (i never hade a gui on any of my lfs machines as they are just servers), and (x)ubuntu is my favourite on my desktop machines. (reading about the problems building gnome or kde in the blfs list, i prefer to use a distro for desktop and use lfs just for servers) as the rest of the book went fine, i guess to have apt-getted all necessary packages. sudo has no influence as i don't use it. im a simple user, owning /tools. there is really no need to sudo anything in chapter 5 so far. as the solution is quite easy, i just wanted to know, wether anybody can confirm similar failures with other distros as host. i guess with binutils pass2 and gcc pass2 this CC/AR/RANLIB construction is needed, as otherwise the hosts tools will intercept the same way as it does on my ubuntu with glib. as this construct is needed until gcc pass 2 is done, i guess it would be save to add it to the glib too. after finishing the new system, i restarted again from within the new system and had no problem. this time i did NOT add the CC/AR/RANLIB. as the hosts tools and the new toolchain sould almost be the same (i didn't check filesizes or make a diff, but they are built both from the same source - it probably does not matter wether the hosts or the new tools ar used) just one more question: even if you have no problem without the CC/AR/RANLIB setting, are you really shure the new tools are used to build glib? greetings tobias -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
