RE: [avr-libc-dev] avr-libc installation error

>Is the avr-libc user manual and the installation guide in that manual
deficient or wrong in some way? 

Well, unfortunately for me, following the avr-libc standard installation
steps at http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/user-man ... tools.html led to the
errors I reported above. It kept hanging at the avr-libc installation step.
This led to the above discussion of the merits (and problems) of crossdev.
Since I couldn't get the normal steps to work, i tried the crossdev
workaround to get avr-libc installed. this worked, and i then followed the
remaining steps at http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/user-man ... tools.html .

>Crossdev is known to be deficient. I don't understand why you felt
compelled to use some hybrid approach when the user manual contains a known
good method on building and installing avr-libc... 
 
Right, I definitely didn't want to deal with crossdev irregularities
(especially since i am a relative noob), but it allowed me to get around the
problems I reported in my Apr. 07 post.

I am hoping my current problems aren't a result of this workaround (well,
they appear not to be at this point).
