Hello

I am really in a crazy circuit. I would only install gnu 'make' and now this. I will explain.

I looked for 'make' package' because i needed it for somethings else. After i search very long i found out that i need a ccompiler (after typing "$ ./configure") for cross-compile 'make' because I have no 'make' yet. Then I found an gnu toolchain (i hope that's right) and i was suprised. The the file what I downloaded was a .bin. After starting the .bin file (with "$ ./arm.........bin") i had to add the "IATEMPDIR" variable a path what have enough disk space because /tmp was no disk space left.
But then comes the "cksum: command not found". I found out that the 1.71 version does not support 'cksum' or 'ar'. Then I tried to install the newest version of BusyBox (2.0.0 or higher) but with no sucess because for this i need the command 'make'.

I hope someone could understand my problem and can tell me what I could do.

And what I can say. In the first time I thought I have to move the .bin file in /mnt/us/ and update my kindle per terminal. Yea, after this, the .bin file was away and now i have the command 'cc' available but if on /tmp was no disk space how could it work?
The problem is only that nothings is changed for example i type ./configure. At the line is "gcc ... no
cc ... no" and when i type "cc" in the console comes there "cc not found" but the cc binary is available in the /bin/ folder.

Ahh and sorry for my bad english. My mother tongue is german and i am very young. :P

Best regards
