If you have to use brain-damaged mailers, such as on phones or in webmail, we might make allowances - but your mailer is hiding its identity so for the moment I will assume you are wilfully following the mickeysoft way of doing things ;)
Now, you said below that you are using mint (with xfce). Mint is derived from 'buntu (insert old "friends don't let friends use ubuntu" joke - I'm actually replying from an old ubuntu system on my underpowered netbook, using ssh to connect to my home server where the mail is, so this really *is* a joke) and therefore you *really* need to run version-check.sh from the Host System Requirements in the preface. There are a number of potential issues when building from ubuntu or any other debian-derived distro, and in this context I guess that dash, or perhaps distro scripts to allow for multiple shells, might be involved. I have only rarely used dash, which seems to be standard in ubuntu and perhaps even in debian, but I have seen strange errors when trying to set environment variables on the way into chroot from systemrescuecd (when I had copied an existing LFS to a new machine and was chrooting to set up grub) which I think uses zsh, so I assume this is probably a shell problem. You might also try adding SHELL=/bin/bash to your command. One further thought : was that an error (the command failed) or just a warning ? Try 'echo $?' _immediately_ after running that command : 1 shows there was an error, 0 is ok. ĸen > ________________________________________ > From: lfs-support <lfs-support-boun...@lists.linuxfromscratch.org> on behalf > of akhiezer <lf...@cruziero.com> > Sent: Monday, July 14, 2014 3:20 PM > To: LFS Support List > Subject: Re: [lfs-support] LFS 7.5 Chaper 4.4 setting up the environment > > > From: Michael Bradshaw <mjb3...@ksu.edu> > > To: "lfs-support@lists.linuxfromscratch.org" > > <lfs-support@lists.linuxfromscratch.org> > > Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2014 19:46:03 +0000 > > Subject: [lfs-support] LFS 7.5 Chaper 4.4 setting up the environment > > > > > > > > Hello everyone! > > > > > > First LFS build here and I have run into a problem.
