Glibc-2.23 (chapter 6.9)

Hi there! sorry for the noob question but I am having trouble installing glibc. I get the error:

Code:

configure: error: 

*** These critical programs are missing or too old: gawk

*** Check the INSTALL file for required versions.

when I configure glibc

Code:

../configure --prefix=/usr          \

            --disable-profile      \

            --enable-kernel=2.6.32 \

            --enable-obsolete-rpc

I am running this while in the chroot environment inside of the build directory inside of the glibc-2.23 directory inside of the sources directory.

thank you again!

Post the link you're using for LFS. Looks like an old book.

post the version script what host you are on and are you using a vm the configure script is complaining about gawk so that is probably your problem

I am not running a VM. My OS is Ubuntu. This is exactly how I run the script (sorry if this is too much detail.)

Code:

root:/# cd sources/

root:/sources# tar xf glibc-2.23.tar.xz 

root:/sources# cd glibc-2.23

root:/sources/glibc-2.23# patch -Np1 -i ../glibc-2.23-fhs-1.patch

thanks again for all your help!

I do have gawk installed (on my host os).

Code:

➜  ~ gawk

Usage: gawk [POSIX or GNU style options] -f progfile [--] file ...

I installed it for chapter 5.7 (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...r05/glibc.html). However when in the chroot environment when I type gawk, nothing comes up

Code:

root:/sources/glibc-2.23/build# gawk

bash: gawk: command not found

I ignored this because I thought that it did not matter.

thanks

ubuntu is not complient out of the box, you need to post the output of the version.sh script

sorry for being such a noob, but do I run version.sh inside the chroot environment or inside my os?

dont ignore errors unless you know what your your doing by ignoring them.
gawk should be in the tool chain from chap5, whatisyour PATH set to?

from the host, we were all noobs one day, no need to apologize

ok, I don't exactly know how to find the path of gawk.

I ran

Code:

command -v gawk

and nothing showed up, does this mean that gawk is not installed, and if so, what would be the best thing to do, should I reinstall it, and if I do reinstall it do I need to reinstall anything else?

thanks

before you doanything else please post the op of the version script.

sorry, but I am still confused about how to run the version script.

thanks
