[SOLVED] installing glibc-2.37

JohnHendry · 07-31-2023, 05:54 AM

For anyone installing glibc-2.37 according to Chapter 8 of the LFS Book (11.3), I would advise the following checks before you create the build directory and begin configuration:

Have a look at your /usr/lib. Remember that for library file "name" ld is looking to link to libname.so, not libname.so.1 or .2 or anything else so if you're smart create symbolic links for libnsl.so, libnss_dns.so, libnss_files.so, libpthread.so, libdl.so, librt.so and libutil.so.

That will save you a lot of frustration and time.

Hi, I haven't had to do ln -s for a while, which shows immprovement.

Thank you for posting a resolution. (I'm seeing this from the "zero reply's")

I think I know your brother. :-)

All the best with lfs, have you done lfs before, I have an iso But haven't committed the time yet.

Regards Glenn

I post here sometimes when I can't solve something. Thx for interest in my brother, Glenn. Good health to you.

Hi, I checked, I don't know your brother. It was someone else. :-) all the best

My brother deserved a better brother, Glenn. The older I get, the more I regret. But this is not the forum.
