It's a long time since I've seen anyone mention that they compiled programs to make the host fit for purpose - usually they just use the package manager. But yes, if a required package is in /usr/local then the PATH should be /tools/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin In these circumstances, for chapter 5 it might also help to export PKGCONFIG_PATH as /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usrlocal/share/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig (Try without this, to see if putting the new m4 ahead of the old one is sufficient. If it isn't try this) ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
