Glibc Unable to Find Kernel Headers
 
I'm currently configuring Glibc for LFS under a Gentoo 2005.0 system. It is unable to find my kernel headers under /tools/include:
Code:

checking installed Linux kernel header files... TOO OLD!
configure: error: GNU libc requires kernel header files from
Linux 2.0.10 or later to be installed before configuring.
The kernel header files are found usually in /usr/include/asm and
/usr/include/linux; make sure these directories use files from
Linux 2.0.10 or later.  This check uses <linux/version.h>, so
make sure that file was built correctly when installing the kernel header
files.  To use kernel headers not from /usr/include/linux, use the
configure option --with-headers
The headers I have installed are the 2.6.12.0 ones, and I have patched Glibc with the recommended patch under the "Stable" version.

Why does Glibc not like my kernel headers?

Te last output line suggests :

Code:
To use kernel headers not from /usr/include/linux, use the configure option --with-headers
So, I would add --with-headers=/tools/include or --with-headers=/tools

i also have the same problem,
i use the command --with-headers=/tools/include so this should be right
but the /tools/include directory is totaly empty.

because the scrpts in the build process are looking for your headers in uname-r ok so that means it is pointing to /lib/modules/uname -r/build if not found.
/lib/modules/uname -r/source if not found
/usr/src/linux witch are all symlink to /usr/include/asm
if you are just using headers instead of a full source. and want to keep it that way make sure your symlinks in /lib/modules/uname -r/ build or source point to the /usr/src/headers.
when I just first started using linux in 1997 this was my wake up to what the system is about. you would be better off installing a full source that matches your vmlinuz (kernel)
the other issue you have is the kernel as of your out put is to old and was compiled with a gcc under 3.2. if this is false then you may need to install the a new version of glibc.
and glibc2. I realize this can be frustrating hang in there . so if all said and done you have a full source and everything is correct and it still fails to find the header files. this tell me you have gone from a older kernel to the newer than 2.6.23 and all the patches will not help this problem. the reason why was a big kernel change. from a arch i386 to the x86 and they now symlink them but the big issue never could be fixed if any one could get it to say to compile drivers let me know because after building kernel after kernel and when they made the big change of the x86 after all the asm symlinks to headers every thing I could think of could not satisfy the header problem it was a script problem. so. what the big drag was I wanted the 2.6.23.9 because of the cool built in modules but sorry major kernel restructure. So I messaged Pat Volkerding About this last year and as you can tell slackware 12.0 and 12.1 there is a big change in the init scripts and the x86 thing.
This may not help you but at least you know it is not you. making mistakes.

then if the /tools/include/ is empty you need to get the header package for it/ because /tool/include/linux is what you should see and that a big problem. because /tools/include/linux/ holds all the header for bulding programs. these are you c libraries. h.version

at stage 5.6 they are telling to
Code:
make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=dest headers_install cp -rv dest/include* /tools/include
i get the next output from make

This program built for i386-redhat-linux-gnu
this should be the falth for me then,

i never put -v version into the first rule.
i however did -rv like the lfs website sais so at 5.6
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...x-headers.html
i guess i get version output from make

[QUOTE=R03L;3385334]at stage 5.6 they are telling to

make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=dest headers_install cp -rv dest/include* /tools/include
my faulth
i needed to

Code:
make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=dest headers_install
and than
Code:
cp -rv dest/include* /tools/include
thats what you get when you want to fast.

no glibc is compiling whitout a problem,.
