Made it all the way to chapter 6, using 6.4 documentation and the 6.3 LIVE CD. However, every time I go I try to compile the Linux Headers I get an error:

bash: /tools/bin/gcc: No such file or directory

I think I've trackd it down to a problem in my toolchain. Running readelf -l /tools/bin/gcc shows that my program interpreter is /lib/ld-linux.so.2 instead of /tools/lib/ld-linux.so.2

What I don't understand, is why! Before I chroot, back in chapter 5, my program interpreter showed up correctly:

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...adjusting.html

Anyone know where I'm messing up the toolchain? How can I fix it now?

This line:

bash: /tools/bin/gcc: No such file or directory

Suggests to me that your first problem is that bash can not find gcc.

*****

In your `chrooted' environment, look at your path:

$ echo $PATH

If /tools/bin is not in your path, then you need to add it. This should have been added when you first entered the chrooted environment.

Also---You said that the program interpreter: ld-linux.so.2 was correct when you did your first:

echo 'main(){}' >dummy.c ; gcc dummy.c ; et cetera...

Test.

If this is in fact correct, then I think that your problem is again PATH related. Make sure that PATH is set correctly, and also make sure that / is mounted on the correct device node.

My path turned out to be OK, but the interpreter in $LFS/tools/bin/gcc didn't have the right path. Which caused it to work, until I chrooted and $LFS/tools became my /tools directory. I tried several times to recomile GCC and 'adjust the toolchain', but I finally just ended up creating a symbolic link to where it thought it was.

ln -s /tools/bin/gcc /bin/gcc

I'm sure it'll cause trouble down the road

Hi,

i have resolve the same problem with:

export CC=$LFS_TGT-gcc
export CXX=$LFS_TGT-g++
export AR=$LFS_TGT-ar
export RANLIB=$LFS_TGT-ranlib

before configuring gcc pass 2

Thanks,that solved my problem, and is still valid for SVN-20150131.
I guess this should be added to the book.
