All went through without complaint.

Hi folks,

re: /tools/bin/env: /tools/bin/bash: No such file or directory

I made following test;

[root@localhost satimis]# ldd /tools/bin/env[root@localhost satimis]# ldd /mnt/lfs/tools/bin/env[root@localhost satimis]# ldd /tools/bin/bash[root@localhost satimis]# ldd /mnt/lfs/tools/bin/bash[root@localhost satimis]# ls -al /mnt/lfs/tools/bin/ | grep bashB.R.

Did you miss to run make install when you were installing bash?

Hi freegianghu.

No.

Hereinunder are the steps taken down on my notes;
All went through without complaint. I can remove it and do it again.

Hereinunder are steps performed with "re-start" the FC3

You may have two problems:

1. bash: chroot: command not found. Could you find chroot command on your host system (which chroot)?
2. ldd: /mnt/lfs/tools/bin/bash: No such file or directory. You must make sure there is a bash program in /mnt/lfs/tools/bin/ in order to continue :D

Cheers,
GH

Hi freegianghu,

Yes

[satimis@localhost ~]$ su -
Password:
[root@localhost ~]# which chroot
/usr/sbin/chroot
[root@localhost ~]# ls -al /usr/sbin/chroot
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15648 Oct 5 2004 /usr/sbin/chroot

I must run it with full path on LFS 6.1. On LFS 6.0 no full path was required. I don't know its reason. But both on the same host FC3

[root@localhost ~]# ls -al /mnt/lfs/tools/bin/ | grep bash
lrwxrwxrwx 1 lfs lfs 4 Jul 21 17:55 sh -> bash

I got through this 'chroot' step on LFS 60.

The installation steps on LFS 6.0 as follows (taken down on Notes)
5.29. Bash-3.0
http://www.sg.linuxfromscratch.org/l...er05/bash.html
(removed)
On LFS 6.1 (taken down on Notes)
5.27. Bash-3.0
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...er05/bash.html

Steps taken down on NotesThe only difference is applying the patch file on the latter.

I'll delete Bash-30 and re-install it. If still haveing problme then I'll delete it again and re-install it without applying the patch.

Hi freegianghu,

Hi...i also have a similar problem with chroot.It says as below:

chroot "$LFS" /tools/bin/env -i \
> HOME=/root TERM="$TERM" PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \
> PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin \
> /tools/bin/bash --login +h

/tools/bin/env is present..i checked on that .I ran specs for gcc once again but still the same result.

One more thing.I have done all steps correctly as given in LFS book(version SVN-20100301) and i dont see any folder in /mnt/lfs/tools location.Is that the problem?
I copied the files from /tools/bin/ to /mnt/tools/ and again ran chroot but same result again.

Please help me. I am new to linux

You might have not setup the PATH variable yet. What does says? Try . /etc/profile or just include the full path to chroot like /tools/bin/chroot instead of just chroot.

I wonder if you should have created your own thread instead?..

What is the output of
Maybe /tools is not a symlink. Maybe you did not mount the partition properly.
This makes no sense since it should be /mnt/lfs/tools. You must have missed something in a previous step.
BTW, always post your host system and the LFS-book version you are using.
