Thanks for the help! I failed to realize the dash/bash difference. I assumed 
mint uses bash -_-' oops. and i'll get on to installing texinfo as well. Thanks!

Please don't number the lines or insert a tab in front of them - it
wastes space.  It's perfectly acceptable to paste a block of lines,
which will be easier for you if you are using a mouse.

I was going to point out that if configure reports the C compiler
cannot create executables (on a linux system) it seems pretty likely
that gcc is involved, and I was going to ask for details of the
error message immediately before this when configure tried to
compile the code fragment and failed.  But on balance I think you
have answered this below.

/bin/sh should be symlinked to /bin/bash : dash is unlikely to be
good enough.

That doesn't look like a useful version of texinfo, does it ?

You appear to be missing 'cc1'.  apt-get install build-essential.
$DEITY knows why ubuntu package things like this (a compiler, but
not able to compile!).

[lfs-support] LFS Problem Section 5.4 Version 7.2

2012-11-05 Thread Mark Mark
Hi there! 

When I try to prepare Binutils for configuration on the first pass (section 
5.4.1) I get this strange error that prohibits me from making it later



1. lfs@mint /mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-2.22 $ ../binutils-2.22/configure 
--prefix=/tools --with-sysroot=$LFS --with-lib-path=/tools/lib 
--target=$LFS_TGT --disable-nls --disable-werror
2. checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
3. checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
4. checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
5. checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
6. checking whether ln works... yes
7. checking whether ln -s works... yes
8. checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /bin/sed
9. checking for gawk... gawk
10. checking for gcc... gcc
11. checking for C compiler default output file name...
12. configure: error: in `/mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-2.22':
13. configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
14. See `config.log' for more details.








I got the config.log file, however all I saw was gcc a gcc problem. I also did 
the bash version check

1.  
2. lfs@mint /mnt/lfs/sources/binutils-build $ bash version-check.sh
3. bash, version 4.2.24(1)-release
4. /bin/sh -> /bin/dash
5. Binutils: (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.22
6. bison (GNU Bison) 2.5
7. /usr/bin/yacc -> /usr/bin/bison.yacc
8. bzip2,  Version 1.0.6, 6-Sept-2010.
9. Coreutils:  8.13
10. diff (GNU diffutils) 3.2
11. find (GNU findutils) 4.4.2
12. GNU Awk 3.1.8
13. /usr/bin/awk -> /usr/bin/gawk
14. gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3
15. (Ubuntu EGLIBC 2.15-0ubuntu10.3) 2.15
16. grep (GNU grep) 2.10
17. gzip 1.4
18. Linux version 3.2.0-23-generic (buildd@palmer) (gcc version 4.6.3 
(Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu4) ) #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 20:41:14 UTC 2012
19. m4 (GNU M4) 1.4.16
20. GNU Make 3.81
21. patch 2.6.1
22. Perl version='5.14.2';
23. GNU sed version 4.2.1
24. tar (GNU tar) 1.26
25. version-check.sh: line 30: makeinfo: command not found
26. Texinfo:
27. xz (XZ Utils) 5.1.0alpha
28. gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file or directory
29. gcc compilation failed



It seems to be a gcc problem, however, it is installed.
I am using Mint 13 Cinnamon as my host computer. Any ideas as to what I need to 
do to fix this problem?
