Hi everybody,

I'm having trouble using bzip2 in the chroot enviroment in chapter 6.

I compiled bzip2 in chapter 5 and it worked wounderfull. I try to execute my compiled bzip2 in the host enviroment, and all is working nicely.

But once I chroot, it stops to work and returns a error message that doesn't help me any further.

I tried every thing, I went directly into the /tools/bin dir and did a
./bzip2, it returnes the same problem. Then I checked my path:
it is like the file bzip2 doesn't exist, but it is there, I checked with a

I was so desperate, that I desided to put some lines into the main function in bzip2.c just to see if they where executed, but the program doesn't even get to that point.

What can I do?

Any help is greatly apreciated

OK I think I found the problem. But still I'm not able to solve it.

I used the tool readelf -l /tools/bin/bzip2 to find out what libraries the binary depends on. And guess what.

it depends on a binary in the /lib/ directory which is not populated at this point. To be more speciffic it depends on ld-linux.so.2 wgich was present in my host system, but is not pressent in my chroot enviroment.

I think this is a bug in the LFS book, but I don't know where to post it can somebody tell me where?

Thanks for your help!!

Now I solved the problem, with a little hack.

I created a symbolic link inside the /lib/ directory of my chroot env, to point to /tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2 and this way I got bzip2 to work propperly. Now this works fine but,you have to delete this link once you install Glibc because this packages creates the actual ld-linux.so.2 file in the right directory. This is why nobody has noticed this bug. The third package you install in LFS chapter 6 is Glibc

Gosh this is my first bug I find in an open source proyect, I am so happy!!
