What is it with you people trying to build such an old version of LFS using a fairly-recent host system ? This looks as if you are using an inadequate shell - I suspect that your host system has /bin/sh pointing to dash. I'm surprised that you seem to have ended up with an inadequate build of /tools/bin/bash, so I wonder if there is some other error too. But it isn't worth raking over the details. I very much doubt that anyone here has built LFS-6.5 in the last 18 months. Using 7.2, and paying attention to the host system requirements, will be a better use of your time. 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
