GCC in chroot failing to build, unable to find headers

Hi,

I am having a problem building GCC under the chroot environment (Chapter 6.12), similar to errors mentioned in two previous posts:-
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=444805
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=397346

The error, which occurs during the "make" step:-

Code:

I am using the LFS Book 6.2 in conjunction with the LFS Live CD (lfslivecd-x86-6.2-5.iso). I'm installing LFS on a VMWare Player virtual machine.

So far I performed all the tests and the sanity checks that came before this step and they've been successful.

Oh, I also checked /usr/include and the headers seem to be there...

Any help would be appreciated

I think I figured out what the problem was. For the GCC source files I used the same as in building the second pass of GCC under section 5.11. In that section, Patch gcc-4.0.3-specs-1.patch was applied to remove /usr/include from GCC's search path.

When I came to 6.12 I just deleted the old build directory but used the same sources directory, with the applied patch. I deleted the old sources directory, and re-extracted it and and it's working fine now.

Anyway, just wanted to say that this book is great - thanks for all the hard work that went into writing it

I just installed linux for the first time again since ages. Kubuntu 7.04 and out of the box every configure or make that I tried failed with something like stdio.h : no such file or directory.
I last used linux at the times of Mandrake, and then I used to know how to find an rpm that contained what I needed, what do i do in case of Kubuntu?
Mandrake is no more right?
