In gerneral, if you want to run -current, you start by
upgrading to/installing the latest snapshot.
=That= is the reason the OP's build failed.
Othere general advice for OP, if he wants to follow current:
sub the source-changes ml or atleast follow /faq/current.html
and if you still want to try to go from 4.7 instead of a snapshot the
relevant parts are now in /faq/upgrade-old.html .
But as said before, snapshot first is less painfull.
NO. Binary upgrade first is the ONLY WAY to avoid us making fun of you
and laughing at you. Upgrading by source is NOT SUPPORTED. Sometimes
it can be done in one step by carefully following current.html, but
often interim versions must be built, and even then, sometimes it is
very difficult. If you have time to do things the hard way, you need a
hobby or to get out of the Linux mindset. The tools to do things the
easy way are sitting on your nearest mirror.
If you are trying to upgrade releases using current.html, you are doing
it wrong.
If you are looking at upgrade-old.html, you are doing it VERY WRONG.
And I just made it a bit more difficult to do very wrong by removing
upgrade-old.html
