Hi, I got to the middle of stage 6.12 using SVN20051217 (Glibc-2.3.6 locale installation section) and I am running into some bizarre issues.
doing the localdef command in my chroot environment returns bash: /usr/bin/localedef: No such file or directory. Which really to me seems like a message /usr/bin/localedef is returning (since it does exist) yet it says bash at the prompt as if it's bash reporting some issue. This error is from typing in either just 'localdef' or 'localdef <commands>' where commands is anything from --help to the commands given in the LFS book. Now for the quirky stuff I'm noticing that might help someone figure out what's going on. (In the following sections 'proper output' refers to the string "Try: localdef --help or localdef --usage for usage information" while 'error message' refers to "bash: /usr/bin/localedef: No such file or directory.") In the liveCD default environment runnign localedef returns a proper message (this of course runs the CD's localedef... which BETTER work =P ). However $LFS/tools/bin/localedef returns the error message. Yet $LFS/usr/bin/localedef returns the proper message. However upon entering the chroot environment $LFS/tools/bin/localedef works properly and $LFS/usr/bin/localedef returns the error message. When I say $LFS in the chroot environment I mean / but I'll say $LFS just so you know which part of my HDD I'm talking about. Any ideas? anyone? please? I thought maybe it's a segfault that isn't coming out right or something (thus the bash: prompt)... however compiling without my optimization settings (-O3 -march=penium-m) doesn't seem to help and all the other tools seem to work properly. Thanks in advance. - Michael Chrostowski -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
