Well spotted - I had missed that ownership. Owning by root:root is probably, in itself, not a problem. But it appears to indicate that "make install" is being run as root. If that is the case, any errors can trash the host system. I don't, for the moment, understand *how* root came to be involved. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
