Problem compiling glibc

Azmeen · 07-08-2003, 11:00 AM

While trying to compile glibc I encountered an error. The config.log file is as follows:

Code:

The thing is I can't execute the /static/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/as eventhough the ownership has already been set to 0:0 as instructed.

Can the knowledgable please assist.

Thank you!

Well, as I can see it here, your problem ist not the ownership of that file, your problem is that the file doesn't exist (at least not in the directory /static/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ )

Try this:
check /static/bin and /bin and /usr/bin if as is in there and then link it to /static/i686...
for example, if you found it in /usr/bin (where I think it should be):

ln -s /usr/bin/as /static/-i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/as

and then try configuring glibc again.

Hi citro,

Thanks for responding... Actually that's the problem. The files are there! And the permissions are correct and executable flag is set for the files there.

Another funny thing is that I can execute the files as "real root" but not the "pseudo root" in the LFS system!

I'll try the linking when I get back home... I'm currently at work now.

Again, thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated

If i do a ./as

Azmeen:
you opened another thread with problems compiling the 'binutils' package, right?
guess what, the 'as' program is part of the 'binutils' package...so try to install your binutils correctly and then try compiling glibc again.

I've restarted from scratch again... hopefully this time it'll work out. Wish me luck!
