Hello!
Please help me! I am trying to build the latest linux from scratch. everything has worked great up to chapter 6.3, where i enter the command:

chroot "$LFS" /tools/bin/env -i \
HOME=/root TERM="$TERM" PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin \
/tools/bin/bash --login +h

it outputs:

/tools/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

i am afraid if i continue on, ignoring this error could lead to more problems. But i am not sure what to do yet so any advice clues or anything would be very much appreciated

thanks,
mike

p.s.
i am running:
LFS SVN-20050417 (recent version, hopefully this isn't related to the problem)
Slackware 10.1
with stock kernel 2.6 from disc 2 /testing

in LFS bash should be linked with ncurses and not termcap

do you think its something wrong with what i did in the ncurses section?

to know if bash is correctly linked, try: ldd /tools/bin/bash
for example, here is my bash:

Ok heres what it outputs:

root@darkstar:~# ldd /tools/bin/bash
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libtermcap.so.2 => not found
libdl.so.2 => /tools/lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40018000)
libc.so.6 => /tools/lib/libc.so.6 (0x4001c000)
/tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

root@darkstar:~# ldd /bin/bash
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libtermcap.so.2 => /lib/libtermcap.so.2 (0x4002e000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40033000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40037000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)


when i try the chroot command i still recieve the error, and i do not see any prompt "I have no name!" as the chapter says you should see.


btw thankyou so much for helping me

Well in your chapter 5 try to recompile Bash with the following options:

It worked!
I ran the chroot command again and it gave me the "I have no name!" prompt

Thanks so much for helping me! I woulda never figured it out by myself

After performing the (re)'configure', did you perform the 'make' and 'make install'?

As Oliv' recommended, run this command to verify your bash executable is built correctly:
