<title>Installation of Bash</title>

<para>
Install Bash by running the following commands:
</para>

<blockquote><literallayout>

	<userinput>./configure --enable-static-link --prefix=$LFS/usr \</userinput>
	<userinput>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;--bindir=$LFS/bin --disable-nls 
		--with-curses &amp;&amp;</userinput>
	<userinput>make &amp;&amp;</userinput>
	<userinput>make install &amp;&amp;</userinput>
	<userinput>cd $LFS/bin &amp;&amp;</userinput>
	<userinput>ln -s bash sh</userinput>

</literallayout></blockquote>

<para>
If you get errors when compiling bash that tell you about not being able to
find <quote>-lcurses</quote> run these two commands to create the
missing symlink (so far we have not enountered one distribution that has
this libncurses symlink setup properly, except for LFS systems where it
is setup properly):
</para>

<blockquote><literallayout>

	<userinput>cd /usr/lib &amp;&amp;</userinput>
	<userinput>ln -s libncurses.a libcurses.a</userinput>

</literallayout></blockquote>

<para>
Note: Normally the libncurses.a file resides in the /usr/lib directory
but it might reside in /lib (like it does on LFS systems). So check to 
make sure whether you should run the ln command in /usr/lib or in /lib
