gcc ld cannon find -lc
 

Well, I got all the way to ch 5.7 in the version 6.3 book without any errors, and now I am getting the error:
/mnt/lfs/tools/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lc. THis happens when i try to run gcc dummy.c.

Hi,

Shouldn't that be: cc dummy.c?

From the 6.3 book:gcc dummy.c should only be tried if the cc command fails (as described in the Caution part).

Hope this helps.

it is, i tried both.

Hi,

How about the other tips given in the Caution box? Tried any of those?

Are you 100% sure all the commands where copy/pasted (typed???) correctly and none where forgotten?

Please give more information, its a bit hard to guess what you have tried already.

everything appears to be right, except that path is /tools/bin:/bin/usr/bin, as it says to set it to in ch 4.4.

i cant copy and paste the commands, but i double checked, and they were typed right

Hi,
The PATH is incorrect and not as shown in chapter 4.4. It should be: /tools/bin:/bin:/usr/bin

srry, mistype on my end, thats what it is

Hi,
That's a bummer. Triple check the commands in chapter 5.7, a typo is made very easy (as acknowledged by the LFS team in that same chapter).
