Could you show the failures in glibc and findutils?
Thanks for all your help. I'm away until Wednesday but, Dan, I have
already posted the glibc test failures in the April 2006 archives. You
can see them there. I stripped out some of the obvious ones like the
maths test and left the ones that I could find no reference to anywhere.
We had this on CLFS at one time, when we were building in a
slightly different order than LFS. Our xargs failures were because
/bin/echo didn't exist, and the locate failure seems to have been
related to 'sort' - I think the installed script was using
/tools/bin/sort (ouch!), but the tests used /usr/bin/sort.
Our problem was because we built coreutils too late, but it only
came to light with findutils-4.2.25 which has rewritten tests. Are
you perhaps using newer versions of some of the packages ?
Ken, although I have followed the book to the letter and already have
coreutils successfully installed and tested, the findutils test failures
do seem to point to an incorrect path. All the failures in both xargs
and locate were accompanied by the *no such file or directory* message.
When I return on Wednesday I will post the findutils error messages, and
apply some of your suggestions.
Thanks again.
Richard
