Per thread (tho' yes, a lot of info to wade through there - a lot of good detail): -- slackware-14.0 x86_64 host-gcc: 4.7.1 -- Host-Req: not sure if checked explicitly; ref below. (OP double-checked all-OK section 4.4 (ref eml 25/oct) per your email of 22/oct.) Init problem was caused by OP (Hazel Russman) doing a non-'full' install and instead selecting packages, and omitted gmp. But then went back and did full install and could reproduce the problem: ref Hazel's email (on lfs-support) of Tues 17 Dec - the one where she gives the '2x2 matrix' of tests+results. Full-install slackware 14.0 64-bit and slackware 14.1 64-bit, satisfy host-sys-req for lfs-7.4 ; haven't checked for lfs-7.5-rc. akh -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
