[SOLVED] LFS 7.3 / Chapter 6.10 / Page 96 / Error from the sanity check

Hi guys,

This may or may not have something to do with my previous post:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...rs-4175473330/

When executing the command:

Code:

readelf -l a.out | grep ': /lib'

I get the error:

Code:

readelf: Error: 'a.out': No such file

Again, any help would be appreciated.

This part?

Code:

echo 'main(){}' > dummy.c
cc dummy.c -v -Wl,--verbose &> dummy.log
readelf -l a.out | grep ': /lib'

anything 'useful' in dummy.log?

Code:

cat dummy.log

Yes! Thank you very much.

Code:

cat dummy.log

gave an output where the first line was:

Code:

cc: error: unrecognized command line option '-W1,--verbose'

That's right, I typed "1" instead of "l". I must be getting tired.

I re-entered these commands:

Code:

echo 'main(){}' > 
dummy.c cc dummy.c -v -Wl,--verbose &> dummy.log 
readelf -l a.out | grep ': /lib'

and that solved it.

Thanks very much for your help, rep given.
