6.14.2 glibc installation

itsjustme · 07-22-2003, 09:13 PM

Ok, things have been going along here smoothly, but now I'm at 6.14.2, Glibc installation. I follow along and unpack the clibc-linuxthreads into my glibc-2.3.1 directory. I also moved the 2 patch files in there.

When i run: patch -Np1 -i glibc-2.3.1-root-perl.patch

I get the command not found error on patch:

bash: patch: command not found

Any ideas where I went wrong and now don't have patch?

From my Ch. 5 fun I have a patch-2.5.4 directory that has patch in it. I suppose I should just put that path in there and run the command.
The way I'm doing it, that directory is in /LFS/packages/temp. In Ch. 6 I am unpacking to /LFS/packages/temp6.

thanks...

Well, that's what I did and it seemed to work.

Moving right along....

When you chroot'ed at the beginning of chapter 6, the chroot command included a definition for your path:

Quote:

chroot $LFS /static/bin/env -i \
HOME=/root TERM=$TERM PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/static/bin \
/static/bin/bash --login

If you followed the commands to install patch exactly as they were in chapter 5, then the executable should have been placed in either /bin or /usr/bin. So my only guesses are:

1) You accidentally mis-typed the path string when you chroot'ed
2) You accidentally left off the prefix argument for patch

Where is teh static version of patch located on your drive?

Hmmmm... the only patch I have is in /packages/temp/Patch-2.5.4. No find hits in any of the lib directories. So, I must've missed something in Chapter 5. I was being vewie vewie careful though...

Which bin directory should patch be in, /bin or /usr/bin? I'm assuming /usr/bin, since that's where it is on this red hat machine. Also, I'm assuming that I can now just simply copy patch from /packages/temp/patch-2.5.4 directly into /usr/bin.

Dang! Gotta be careful with all those assumings....

Thanks...

In that case, are you sure you executed the "make install" part of the patch installation? If the only place you have patch is in the directory you compiled it in, that would likely be the case.

As for my /bin and /usr/bin comment, it should be located in $LFS/static/bin. I was getting a little ahead of myself. When you compile patch again later in chapter 6, it will be put in /usr/bin. Any and all of your statically compiled programs will reside in $LFS/static/bin.
