Thank you to you both for looking at this. I had seen the warnings on the lode guide page, but I had perhaps been too optimistic in assuming the there would not be a problem on my system. However, clearly the spaces are a problem and I will now follow the earlier instructions to eliminate these and reattempt the build. Also, I will more closely next time adhere to guidelines and warnings, such as those on the lode guide page.

There can also be problems with some older USB drives * Do not use names longer than 8 char * Only use a-z and 0-9 in the name, NO spaces or other special characters" on the lode page: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/lode rgds jan I.
