Hello Douglas,

Thank you for your kind reply.

In /etc/hosts I have as follows:

127.0.0.1       localhost
::1             localhost
127.0.1.1       meadows.localdomain.meadows

So I'll give your suggestion a try.

As for chroot, I'm doing the BLFS stage and there it allows for user input and then going into root when instructions say so.

Kind regards
Fosca

I have just been working on BLFS and came across a slight hitch regarding nss-3.50 & nss-3.55 in 9.1 and 10.0 respectively.

So in 9.1 - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/9.1/postlfs/nss.html - we find "The unit tests were run during the build."

Whereas in 10.0 - http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/10.0/postlfs/nss.html - we find :

To run the tests, execute the following commands:

cd tests &&
HOST=localhost DOMSUF=localdomain ./all.sh &&
cd ../

The previous "make BUILD_OPT=1  . . . command sequence reads the same for both 9.1 and 10.0.

Hence why the test in 10.0 ?

The point is that I had that test fail on me.
The screen went into a loop with the last line reading as follows:

HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
tstclnt:error looking up host: PR_DIRECTORY_LOOKUP_ERROR: A directory lookkup on a network address has failed

Can you make sure that you have the following line in /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost


And a few lines up from there we have:
Trying to connect to selfserv at Wed ......AEDT

After crashing out, I rebooted in and continued on with cd ../dist in root.

Are your running in chroot? I don't think those tests have been run on a system in chroot.
Just thought I'd let you all know about this glitch.

Cheers  Fosca
