Hello!
I had following problem in Chapter 5.11:
If i enter this command:

Code:

expect -c "spawn ls"

To see if i had enough PTYs
But I become the following error:

Code:

bash: expect: command not found

The Package Expect-5.43.0 is installed.

Please Help!!!

Hello again,

Can you double check this, i.e. confirm that expect is in /tools/bin/

The command "expect" is probably not in your path. If you issue the following command:

Code:

locate expect

do you see it in the output? Or you could issue:

Code:

find / -name expect 2>/dev/null

This should find it if it is on your system? Also check your path like this:

Code:

echo $PATH

to see if the directory expect is in, is in your path.

Hi, I'm having the same problem. echo $PATH gives me "/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin". Expect is in /tools/bin/ so is this a problem? If so how can I fix it? If I type "/tools/bin/expect" then it runs fine. I'm still learning linux and I'm actualy doing this LFS thing to learn how linux works. Thanks alot!

Check your .bashrc file. It needs

Code:

cat > ~/.bashrc << "EOF"
set +h
umask 022
LFS=/mnt/lfs
LC_ALL=POSIX
PATH=/tools/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
export LFS LC_ALL PATH
EOF

Hello dude
I am doing LFS for my project (My college minor project ) to build my own Distro. Now this is my 3rd time when I am going to build this and I had faced this problem in 5th Chapter.I am using Red Hat-9.

Code:

CPP='gcc -B/tools/bin/ -E -x c-
header'  /mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-build/elf/ld-linux.so.2 --
library-path /mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-

Hmm well this is a pretty big clue. I have never used Red Hat 9 but to my knowledge it is relatively old.
So I suggest you use a newer distro with a recent 2.6 kernel or even better the LFS live cd.

redeye1 · 01-28-2007, 10:05 PM

(Daws)
I have no option to use other Distro Becouse i have just a Redhat 9 no other Distro.
Tell me it is not prossible to do my LFS on Redhat 9 .

redeye1 · 01-28-2007, 10:12 PM

I have no LFS live cd and i am not able to download this so i have no option to use other Distro.I have just a Redhat 9 no other Distro.
Tell me can i build it on Redhat 9, and how can correct this problem......?

Daws · 01-29-2007, 02:40 AM

What kernel does RH9 use? The LFS book says a 2.6.x kernel compiled with gcc-3.0 or greater.

If you don't have that then you will have to grab a newer kernel and compile yourself.

Angeliqe · 01-29-2007, 05:16 AM

Redhat 9 looks like it has a 2.4 kernel. You can find out for sure by typing in
cat /proc/version
That will give you more details. If you do have a 2.4 version, I would suggest getting a LiveCD
to make your LFS. You could upgrade your kernel, but chances are you might have more
incompatibilities and end up doing more work.

redeye1 · 01-30-2007, 02:55 AM

Thanx budy
Know i am going to LFS LIVE CD becoz Redhat 9 kernel is very old (2.4.20-18) so i will be arrange a copy of
Live Cd.. When i have any problem with live Cd then i will be returne back..
Thanx

Hello EveryOne I have a Problem in Chapter 5.13.Ncurses-5.5 I am using LFS Live CD x86-6.2
Please tell me what can i do next.
Thanx

You may see messages regarding extended capabilities, e.g., A X.
These are extended terminal capabilities which are compiled

If you have ncurses 4.2 applications, you should read the INS TALL
