Ive just finished the lfs-5.1.1 book and it works! Want to add a package manager to the system tho, and being used to slackware i followed the hint at "http://lfs.osuosl.org/hints/downloads/files/tgz.txt" to install hdsetup and checkinstall. I downloaded the hdsetup tarball from slackware 8.0, and moved all the file as per the hint (except pkgtool.tty which didnt seem to be included in the package??). I changed the permissions for the moved files and installed checkinstall. However, when i go to run checkinstall to add the newly installed checkinstall to the manager, it goes as far as asking me what package i want to create, i choose slackware (s) and then it fails with the error:
Code:
*** The "installpkg" program is not in your PATH!
*** Slackware package creation aborted
installpkg resides in /usr/sbin/installpkg, and /usr/sbin is in my path. I can indeed run installpkg from the comand line just by typing it in.
Ive also done the bit from the checkinstall f&q that refers to lfs:
Code:
I built my Linux system from scratch (LFS, anyone?) and nothing gets included in the packages I create with CheckInstall!
Most likely you installed GNU make from source, which by default installs the make binary with SUID and/or SGID permissions. A quick fix:
chmod 0755 `which make`
Could someone suggest a solution?
Thanks.
P.S if someone knows where i could get pkgtool.tty, could you let me know? This might indeed be the problem.
Cheers.
