Hi All,

I followed the guide for LFS 7.3 and everything worked fine without any errors but now I am getting the following error when I run make install for Glibc.

I am doing lfs on VMware ESXi/CentOS 6.4 Live CD.

Thanks in advance!

Either you're building as a user and need 'sudo make install' or your disk mounting options are poor.

use [code] not {code} for tags, what chapter are you on? please post the output of the version.sh script, you should NOT use sudo at any point when building LFS, when building the tool chain you run buid install as the LFS user, when building the basic system you should be in the chroot envronment as root, sudo is not part of the basic LFS system.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I am on chapter 5.7 (LFS 7.3)

Please preview your post before posting so that you can see if tags etc are correct, see this:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi....php?do=bbcode
For the correct use of code tags etc.

Your version check has shown a number of problems:Check yacc/bison is installed on your host system correctly, check that your LFS partition is mounted r/w.
Under NO circumstances should you be using 'sudo' at this stage, if you have a permission problem with install etc then you have done something wrong.

Hi Keith,

Sorry for the late response. I was occupied somewhere and had to put this project on hold. So, I restarted LFS from scratch on CentOS 7. Now it says yacc not found. Here is the output of version-check.sh :

Thanks!

Please use code tags.
This is roughly what you should haveAs you can see from yours you still have a problem with yacc, see this:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/.../hostreqs.html

Note this:
Bison-2.3 (/usr/bin/yacc should be a link to bison or small script that executes bison)

Until you get a the correct o/p from the version script you are will keep running in to problems, consider switching the host system to Slackware as that is fully complient, after you have built LFS you can always remove Slackware to recover the space.

See this:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...2/#post5538504

Hi Keith, I am building on slackware now and progress is good so far. Thanks for your help

In which case I would probably mark this thread as SOLVED
