"../glibc-2.3.2/configure --prefix=/usr \ --disable-profile --enable-add-ons \ --libexecdir=/usr/bin --with-headers=/usr/include" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Error : "checking size of long double... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (long double), 77 See `config.log' for more details." Can anyone help me Thanks Irfan |
hi there
too have been getting the same errors with my LFS 5.1. i have been compiling it in on my FC2 with 2.6.7 kernel below is the compile error [root@gaurav gcc-build]# ../glibc-2.3.3-lfs-5.1/configure

configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (long double), 77 See `config.log' for more details. =============================================== my config.log is a very big file i am posting the last lines of it i do not know whether i can post such a big file here from config.log #define PACKAGE_NAME "GNU C Library" #define PACKAGE_STRING "GNU C Library (see version.h)" #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "c-library" #define PACKAGE_VERSION "(see version.h)" #define USE_REGPARMS 1 #endif #ifdef __cplusplus #include <stdlib.h> configure: exit 1 pl. help me out here regards gaurav |
I think that this may be because you're trying to compile older versions of the toolchain (glibc, gcc) than the versions you have installed on your host (Fedora core 2) system. Have you tried building LFS 6? http://lfs.securewebservices.co.uk/lfs/view/testing/

I am using Red Hat 8 and LFS version 5 and this starnge error is comming again again .....why this is comming .....is there any solution ? i am playing with this error last three days but .......there is no success.
Could you please help me how can i get rid of this error ...? Thanks Irfanali |
so should i go to gcc ver 2.95
i think that might help i am presently doing this on GC2 which has a newer GCC regards gaurav |
hi therre i tried gcc 2.95 compiler
again got stuck here few of the output lines are ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether ln -s works... yes checking for pwd... /bin/pwd checking for gcc... gcc checking version of gcc... 2.95.3, bad checking for gnumake... no checking for gmake... gmake checking version of gmake... 3.80, ok configure: error: *** These critical programs are missing or too old: gcc *** Check the INSTALL file for required versions. ============================================================================ regards gaurav |
I am also getting same error .......................
if you see config.log,there is a some code of C i think which is creating problem i would like to invite C programmer or anybody who can sort out this problem |#include <stdio.h> | #include <stdlib.h> | int | main () | { | | FILE *f = fopen ("conftest.val", "w"); | if (! f) | exit (1); | if (((long) (sizeof (long double))) < 0) | { | long i = longval (); | if (i != ((long) (sizeof (long double)))) | exit (1); | fprintf (f, "%ld\n", i); | } | else | { | unsigned long i = ulongval (); | if (i != ((long) (sizeof (long double)))) | exit (1); | fprintf (f, "%lu\n", i); | } | exit (ferror (f) || fclose (f) != 0); | | | ; | return 0; | } configure:6294: error: cannot compute sizeof (long double), 77 See `config.log' for more details. |
possible fix
I ran into the same problem. After a little digging, I found out that the problem was that libc.so.6 was missing from the /tools/lib directory...not sure why. A simple ln -s /lib/libc.so.6 /tools/lib/ fixed the problem for me. Not sure if linking to the host library is the best solution for this but it seems to be working so far.

hi there
thanx for the info i will try as u have adviced and post u back regards |
If you've not installed glibc correctly it would be better to just start again. Don't waste any more time. Learn from the mistake and do it properly next time. Follow the book.

hi there i did not go for installtion og glibc it was installed by the distribution itself well i am going with a fresh install with the advice i have got here regards |
Maybe a hardware problem? That error message looks like the type of error messages you would get when a processor is overclocked too much and/or overheating.

hi there
i do not hink the people at LFS have made such a compilation that the system stresses with P3 866MHz and 256 MB RAM, i think this is fine for running LFS regards |
