Hello,

I am currently a bit into my first LFS build. I am currently at Chapter 6.7: Linux 4-4-2 API Headers.

At first, I accidentally ran the commands as the LFS user, but I am unsure if that is what is causing the issue. Once I realized my mistake, I went back to chroot, changed to the sources directory, unzipped the package, changed into the newly created directory, went to run the "make mrporper" command and got back "bash: make: command not found"

I tried to search what may cause this error but have not be able to gather up much. The command "make" worked fine for the LFS user but seems to be gone for my chroot user.

Any advice on what to do? I saw some others had gcc errors caused by missing links. Below is the output of links for make. Not sure if it'll help, but I figure if it might it's worth a shot.

root:/# ls -l tools/bin/ | grep "make"
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13908 Jun 14 12:46 makedb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jun 13 16:53 makeinfo -> texi2any

****UPDATE****
I tried to reinstall "make" through the LFS user. Everything passed on the checks, but when i ran "make install," I got the following errors:

Make should be in /tools/bin so it looks like you missed it out when you did chapter 5. The order of creation of packages is not as crucial in this chapter as it is in chapter 6 (once you have installed the triad of binutils/gcc/libc) so you can probably get away with creating make now. You will need to follow carefully the chapter 5 instructions. This means working as the LFS user, not in chroot, and using "--prefix=/tools". In addition, you will need to temporarily change the ownership of the tools directory and all its contents back to the LFS user before doing the install (they were reassigned to root at the end of chapter 5). The installation errors you report are probably caused by failure to do this.

Your make compilation went wrong in chapter 5. And now you get all thoses errors because you already did the command:

from chapter 5.36

I guess the best is to restart from zero. If it can help you, you can always consult my logs of my last weekly try in 64 bits:

Thank you! It seems it does not want to change any ownerships within the /tools directory. I keep getting the same error. I think what I am going to do is remove everything and do it over again. If anything, I am going to get really good at setting up the host system! Thank you again for your help!!!
