Hi,

User abhik? Chapter 5, just about all of it, should be done as user lfs. The one you created and logged in as in chapter 4.3 and set up a sane environment for in chapter 4.4

Also: Did/do you fully remove the glibc source and build directory before re-trying?

Hope this helps.

the abhik user is same as lfs user only the name is diiferent i tried it again and again but it is saying the filies limit.h which is in /tools/include not found the same error which i posted at first

Please answer my other question (post #18).

Why the changes? It will only complicate things and without knowing what (other?) changes you made helping you will become hard, if not impossible.

[SOLVED]??

How did you solve this? That information might be helpful if others encounter something similar.

Hi abhiklall

I'm very, very new to Linux and LFS. I got stuck on chapter 5.7 in the LFS 6.8 book as well.

I don't know if you found a solution to this problem yet, but I think I did.

Just install 'gawk' (sudo apt-get install gawk). I found this solution in another forum.

Once I did that, the MAKE and MAKE INSTALL commands seemed to work. I still got errors at the end but I'll continue working through the book to see if the errors matter.

Hope this helps.

Hi again ahbiklall

The forum I found the solution in was actually the official Linux from Scratch support mail archive:

http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/...ch/026485.html

@silKoner: Did you skip this chapter in the LFS book: vii. Host System Requirements.

It clearly mentions the packages that need to be installed on your host, gawk being one of them

Hi druuna

Thanks for reply. I didn't skip the Host System Requirements section, but I also didn't check if my Ubuntu system met the requirements. My bad, and lucky for me I found a solution quicker than ahbiklall it would seem As I said in my post to ahbiklall, I am extremely new to the world of Linux and am quite proud of myself just for getting to start of chapter 5.8 so far. It's been slow, but I'm getting more and more confident.

Now if I could only figure out how to keep the Asus PCE-N13 Wifi PCI-E card on permanently without having to restart the computer to turn it back on, I would be happy

Have a good one.

sK

silKoner what version of Ubuntu are you using?

Hi

I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal.

sK

More suggestions to get chapter 5.7 to work on Ubuntu 11.04:

In a previous post in this thread, I mentioned that installing 'gawk' got 'make' and 'make install' to do something. They both appeared to be working (they ran for a little while), but I still ended up with errors (which I mentioned earlier) when they finished. I wasn't happy with that so I did a little more checking and found this post to be most useful:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...1215-a-691292/

I think it was the 'chown' and 'chgrp' tips that fixed my problem. When I ran 'make' and 'make install', they both took a very long time to process, and I didn't see any errors when they finished. I assume they worked.

The symlink tip was already covered by earlier instructions in the LFS 6.8 book if I'm not mistaken, so for this thread, I don't think that's the important part.

Of course, when I executed the long SPECS command from chapter 5.8, I got 'sed' errors, so now I'm off to look into that

Good night all.

sK

When i checked the host requirement script on ubuntu I found Bison, M4, Gawk and a couple of others missing

Hi.

I took druuna's advice and used the host requirement script too and it looked ok to me.

I took a guess about how to fix the 'sed' problem I was having in chapter 5.8 of LFS 6.8 and it worked! I am rather pleased with myself seeing as I am completely new to Linux.

But that's getting off topic

It's really late here, I'm stuffed and off to bed. I'll be back tomorrow night to continue LFS
