This problem has been posted to the LFS mailing list too. It's always useful to check the archives first. Anyways someone mentions to install the following rpm: glibc-static-devel

Can't get to the archives search page because the main site seems to be offline for now. The mirrors still link to the original. But you can still reach the archives at http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives

<start newbie alert>

Hello, I have almost the same problem. The mailing list says to install the "glibc-static-devel" package, which I did.

Now, however, when I try to compile bash I get the following:

Quote:

bash-2.05b$ ./configure --enable-static-link --prefix=/mnt/lfs/static --with-curses
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu

Beginning configuration for bash-2.05a for i686-pc-linux-gnu

checking for gcc... gcc -s
checking for C compiler default output... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for executable suffix...
checking for object suffix... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc -s accepts -g... yes
checking for POSIXized ISC... no
checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check

Before installing the glibc-static-devel package I received the same error as safrout.

Any help?

Hmm, I reinstalled the whole 'Developmnet' section from my Mandrake cd and now ./configure seems to work fine.

Make seems to work too
