The Lfs-Utils package contains a few helper files. &buildtime; &lfs-utils-time; &diskspace; &lfs-utils-compsize; &aa-lfs-utils-down; &aa-lfs-utils-dep;   Prepare Lfs-Utils for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-libc The meaning of the configure option: --with-libc: This causes the mktemp program to use the mkstemp and mkdtemp functions from the system C library. Compile the package: make And install it: make install Now copy two supporting files included in the Lfs-Utils tarball to their destination: cp etc/{services,protocols} /etc The /etc/services file is used to resolve service numbers to human-readable names, and the /etc/protocols does the same for protocol numbers. &aa-lfs-utils-shortdesc; &aa-lfs-utils-desc;
