Python is installed in LFS 8.2 as /usr/bin/python3. While I was building harfbuzz in BLFS 8.2, I discovered that the check stage requires /usr/bin/python. There may be other programs that look for this name too. Creating a symlink solved the problem.
I couldn't find an instruction in LFS to create this link. I suggest adding: Some programs expect to find /usr/bin/python. To satisfy them, create a symbolic link: ln -svf python3 /usr/bin/python -- Hazel Russman -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
