gnu-gcc: command not found error after installing glibc in chapter 5.7 of LFS 7.2
 

I am installing LFS for first time, and this is what happened before I encountered my first error. I am inserting code in spoilers as it's very long.

When I ran make install after running configure script given and make, this is what it shows:

and tried to run the confirmation script that was given:

Compilation stops saying it can't find some file, but I can't seem to make head or tail of what it means. I think something might have gone wrong when I made make or configure, but I will post them in next posts if needed as word limit is crossing for this single post. Thanks!
Extra Info: I am running Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit version. I have created lfs account like LFS book said. There are couple of things I would like to say from my side:

1. lfs account doesn't have sudo privileges. The first script that needs to be run in glibc directory seems to contain su command in it, and I doubt whether that worked. I might be wrong here. However, lfs account is the owner of $LFS directory and its subdirectories and all source files.

2. I installed until linux headers (the chapter just before glibc) yesterday, and today before continuing I had to mount $LFS partition and had to check those basic steps again. I also checked output of mount command and the lfs partition has only (rw) beside it. But, this is just for info.

Hi

Did you make sure that the host was compliant http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/.../hostreqs.html
post output

Yeah, I guess I did it... I had to install a couple of them when I started it, but I guess the script ran fine after that. This is the output:

Hi

Just correct /bin/sh -> /bin/dash should be /bin/sh -> /bin/bash

Hey, I changed the symlink and checked output again. It was this:

However, when I compile and try to install glibc, it doesn't seem to work again. Same error messages again.

Every other settings are same as I mentioned in the above post.

Do I have to start it all over again, right from the first package - now that I changed the shell??

Do you want me to paste output from make command (Strangely, I am sure that this step didn't take anything near 5.5 SBU time like it was mentioned. I think it just blurted out some output with lots of lines of code and errors in couple of seconds or so.).

I would start again, Were all the other dependecies all done before you started to build, was that the only 1 you had to correct. Maybe something went wrong with gcc, did you create the symlink at the botom of the page

Yes, all the other dependencies were gone before I started to build. I created simlink from /bin/sh to /bin/bash as superuser from a different account. Before this I didn't know that a different shell called dash and that it was default in Ubuntu now.

I am going to start if all from scratch again. I will post if the same problem comes again. Thanks for your help! I hope it crosses (at least) glibc this time... ;)

I ment the symlink at bottom of gcc page

Hello @spiky0011 I am getting the same error like him except that my glibc was compiled and installed succesfully. I get an error for the check command.

Error:

PS: I had an error in the previous sections which lead me to install some packages. Could this be the result of this error ?

What link are you talking about here ? I don't see this command in section 5.5(GCC) of LFS version 7.6

Hi

I would like to think something went wrong in Binutils
maye the link at the bottom Did you miss it,
Also are you copy and pasting the commands?

Yes I do copy paste the commands and I do know that sometimes copy paste changes the format of the commands. I don't know if I missed it or not. I am doing everything again from binutils. I have a question. Can you please verify my output for the given command ?

Command:

Output:
Do I have to worry about these no's ?

And I use "make -j4" instead of "make" and "make -j4 install" instead of "make install" because I have a quad core pc. Hope so I am doing it correct.

That is all good. Just 1 more thing DONT use j flags some packages dont like it.

I did all the process from beginning and I passed the sanity check this time. It seems like I was copy pasting one of the glibc command which was garbled due to copy paste. I ended up writing the command on my own and it went smooth. Thanks.
