#480 closed defect (invalid)

Creating the links assumes being just near the / directory

Description

the three ln commands try to link "../usr/bin/something" to "target". But when compiling in /usr/src/somedir/lfs-tar/gcc-build, the command won't find "something".

I found the bug inj the LFS 4.0 book. But it is in CVS, too.

(the "enter new bug" form does not know the 4.0 version!?)

Reporter, did you try the commands and see what it does? It creates appropriate symbolic links.

This bug should be marked invalid.

Resolution: invalid
Status: newclosed

The commands work. "../usr/bin/file" doens't relate to your working directory. It relates to the directory in which the symlink is created. If you create a symlink in /bin then ../usr/bin will work as expected.

This is all documented in the ln man page. I suggest you read it.
