I found this after trying to access a man page on my still rather fresh LFS 6.5 system after I installed a few packages from the BLFS book. I was using blfs-book-svn-html-2009-12-06 and switched to blfs-book-svn-html-2009-12-14
gpm-1.20.6, bc-1.06, openssl-0.9.8k, libgpg-error-1.7, libgcrypt-1.4.4, gnutls-2.8.4, wget-1.11.4, ntp-4.2.4p7 man-db-2.5.5 showed one error after make and make check during the LFS step on page 6.48 in LFS. I did not realize that error kept it from installing. I went on to finish building LFS 6.5 book with no errors that caused any problem. I have a bootable LFS 6.5. I have attempted twice, on my running LFS 6.5 system, with two different copies of man-db-2.5.5.tar.gz, to unpack, patch, configure, make and make check. I have seen the same error both times. I have complete log files of the entire step process of the unpack, configure, make and make check steps. I can show you as much of the logged process for each step as you want to see. The error is directly related to man.o. I have checked /usr/bin and none of the commands from man-db are there. I am assuming that the problem was because of a step before man-db in the LFS 6.5 book but I don't know where to look in the book or on my system to figure out how to fix the problem. Google didn't help, everything I could find was related to some other problem in distro installs. I have not been able to find anything that tells me what caused the problem or how to fix it. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
