cc dummy.c = warning ld-linux.so.2 not found

R3D · 04-25-2006, 01:09 PM

Hi, I'm having a problem that i can't seem to fix,

Applies to: Chapter 5.7. Adjusting the Toolchain (LFS v6.1.1 Book), using disc-version lfslivecd-x86-6.1.1-3

When I run next to check the toolchain;

Code:

echo 'main(){}' > dummy.c
cc dummy.c

Then I get next warning;

Code:

/mnt/lfs/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
        ld-linux.so.2, 
        needed by /tools/lib/libc.so.6, 
        not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

I have the file at /mnt/lfs/tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2", checked vars/paths/files but can't find what I'm doing wrong, did re-install everything from start a couple of times and I keep getting stuck at this stage.

additional info;

Code:

ld --verbose | grep SEARCH

gave next result:

Code:

SEARCH_DIR("/tools/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib");SEARCH_DIR("/usr/lib");

Does have anyone a few suggestions what could be the cause of my problem and where I start to look at?

Thanks at front,
R.

did you tweak your specfile as instructed??

Code:

SPECFILE=`gcc --print-file specs` &&
sed 's@ /lib/ld-linux.so.2@ /tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2@g' \
    $SPECFILE > tempspecfile &&
mv -f tempspecfile $SPECFILE &&
unset SPECFILE

if you execute this command:

Code:

cat `gcc --print-file specs` | grep ld-linux.so.2

your output should look like this:

Code:

%{!static:--eh-frame-hdr} -m elf_i386 %{shared:-shared}   %{!shared:     %{!ibcs:       %{!static:      %{rdynamic:-export-dynamic}     %{!dynamic-linker:-dynamic-linker /tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2}}    %{static:-static}}}

Hi, yes, my output didn't look same as you have illustrated, I did run the specfile command ones again like you instructed and seems it working fine now.
I will make a fresh install tomorrow and see where I went wrong before.
Thanks.

I got an aditional question I wish to ask, I just advanched now upto the part of "III. Building the LFS System", as instructed here I'm told to continue under root user from now onwards, tough I'm not able to make the su switch to root, it asks for a password, i tried "root", "x", "0" and even the lfs user password that I entered at beginning, none of these allows me to become root user again.
Do I need a reboot here first in order to gain root status back again or can I make the switch somehow rightaway?

it's the root account for your regular non-LFS system... you should be able to su to root as you usually do, with your usual password... no reboot or anything like that is needed...

Sorry win32sux, I forgot to mention I'm not building LFS from a existing host system, I'm using the LFS-livecd itself as host system, the book told this was an option to. This is why I don't know the root password yet, I need to make the su switch (chap-6.1) before the group/passwd files are created in a later stage (chapt-6.7)
This confuses me a bit to, becuase in chapt-6.7 it's been told you can't login as root until these files are setup.

R3D · 05-04-2006, 12:35 PM

Problem solved, I was under the impression that there was a root password by default, until I booted the Livecd again and did enter 'passwd' as the very first thing to do...
