just shows how useful tools like grep and sed are.

Thanks. I am treating this as a learning exercise and have been slowly working out what some of the commands do. I think it would have correctly replaced the lines if it could've either found the file, or saved it. It turns out I had made a small mistake with the permissions on a directory earlier on in the process, then just su'd to root, to get round it, which stopped a few other files saving properly and it all ground to a halt.

well the sed pipe was just a global replace to change the pathname from the specs file
dunno if that helps.

After checking the LFS mailing lists and after looking back at what I'd done so far, I realised I had made a little mistake early on. As I don't know enough about linux to fix what i'd done, and as I hadn't got that far in any case I figured it was easier to start again.

I'll keep in mind some advice from the LFS website. FB,BG - Follow Book, Book Good :)

After seeing a few calls for a linux from scratch article it piqued my interest, so thought i'd have a go myself.

I'm at chapter 5.7 [url]http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter05/adjusting.html[/url] and seem to have encountered a problem.

when running the command "mv -v /tools/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/bin/{ld,ld-old}" I got the error
"mv: cannot stat `/tools/i586-mandriva-linux-gnu/bin/ld': No such file or directory"

I am using TinyME (a mandriva based distro) and decided to change the instruction to read

"mv -v /tools/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/{ld,ld-old}" which produced the result

"/tools/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld' -> `/tools/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld-old"

Hopefully this is the end result intended. However the next command also fails to work and I am less sure how to change it.

"gcc -dumpspecs | sed 's@^/lib/ld-linux.so.2@/tools&@g' \
> > `dirname $(gcc -print-libgcc-file-name)`/specs"

When I ran "gcc -dumpspecs >specs" then "cat specs" to check whether the changes had been effective, the dynamic linker at the end still reads "/lib/ld-linux.so.2"

Any ideas how to change get this command to work, or preferably to let me know what to change so the original command will work.

Many thanks
