I'm trying to install glibc 2.1.3, but I get the following error message when I try to make it:
"/bin/sh: invalid character 45 in exportstr for full-config-sysdirs"
I have upgraded to the latest bash release but that didn't help.

Are you trying to build LFS? or you want to simply upgrade your glibc?If i remember there is a patch to get rid of char45 warning,here's the snip : "If you're getting errors related to illegal character 45 in some variable name during the compilation, apply the Glibc patch to the glibc-2.1.3 directory by cd into the glibc-2.1.3 direcotry and running the following command: patch -Np1 -i ../glibc-2.1.3.patch"...try www.linuxfromscratch.org (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org) for the patch.Hope this helps.
