chown....no such file or dir.
 

I have just successfully chroot'ed into my new LFS environment, but when I run the next command (chown -R 0:0 /static) I get an error......no such file or directory. I can't seem to access any bash commands except cd. Where to next ?

Make sure $LFS/static/bin/chown is statically linked.

It looks like I'm already in the $LFS directory, which is now my / , and I can cd into static/bin, but I can't even do an ls to see what's there. I ran the "export LFS =/mnt/lfs" (I assume that's how you do the static linking) but still getting the error. I know very little about Linux but I hope that building this LFS will set me on my way.

Anyway I'll try again tomorrow evening, I'm heading for the cot now......I'll leave the system running.

exit chroot, run this:

ldd $LFS/static/bin/ls

is it dynamically or statically linked?

When I exited chroot I got the following
logout
bash:exit: bad non-numeric arg 'chroot'
Then typing "ldd.....etc, i got the following result
librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0X40....)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0X40....)
libpthread.so.0 => /libpth... etc
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0X400...)

Don't know what it all means????

all that from ldd means the program is not statically linked. It means that you did something wrong in chapter 5 and you need to redo the chapter. Read the book very careful and make sure you make no mistakes typing the comands. Sometimes typing a - wrong can cause the problems.

Ooops, back we go then.
