I'm in chapter 6 and I was trying to open a .bz2 archive and I got this error:

bzip2: error while loading shared libraries: libbz2.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I checked and the libbz2.so.1.0 is found in /usr/lib and /lib aswell.

All of the commands have been entered in correctly from the subdirectory that I extracted the zip file from.

ldconfig -v produced this (shortened for content)

There are no errors that relate to libbz2 are listed.

ldd /bin/bzip2 produces the following: (shortened for content)

root:/sources/bzip2-1.0.6# ldd /bin/bzip2
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffec5ddc000)
libbz2.so.1.0 => not found

/tools/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007ff8dc0f9000)

the host system is running ubuntu 15.04 on a core 2 duo lenovo thinkpad g550.

I'm doing a 64-bit systemd installation if that helps any.

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Try 'ldd /lib/libbz2.so.1.0'.

Here is the output of "ldd /lib/libbz2.so.1.0"

There are no errors, but its linking to the newer version.

'ldd /bin/bzip2' also should show linking to newer version.
Probably, you do something wrong on this step: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...adjusting.html

My laptop hung up when I woke it up from sleep and I had to reboot the laptop and I tried to mount everything again and it now wants a password to access the other partition where lfs is?? I never set one! It looks like I'm going to have to complete start over again! All of that wasted hours compiling!

Is there away around the password that I never set or am I completely screwed?

Try mount it as root user.

Somehow the host system is messed up, terminal doesn't load properly, and there are several system errors after I login, but I was able to get to the lfs partition again. I'm just going to start over, cause if the host is screwed up I'm sure lfs is too. I just wont put the laptop to sleep anymore and just leave it running.

But thanks for all your help!

In chapter 6 you should be careful - your host system can be broken if you run 'make install' without chroot.

@anc6802 How did you solve the error then? Thanks.

Got the same issue after 15 years.... It's NOW year 2019, Feburary.

That poster was last seen on December 2015. I think he restarted from scratch.
