Whoops..forgotten. I expected a fresh LFS system and instead was greeted with a 233 minutes of build time for chapter 5 gettext using the Gentoo Live DVD as a host distribution. The 'EMACS="no" ./configure ...' workaround still solves this. The '--without-emacs' switch does _not_ as the configure check is done out of order (fixed upstream at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gettext/2011-11/msg00016.html ). -- DJ Lucas -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content, and is believed to be clean. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
