Hello,
I was working on section 6.9.2 (re-installing glibc in chapter 6) - and it went all well for the first part. I ran the test and the only errors I got were for failing the nptl/tst-clock2 and tst-attr3 tests. According to the book this is a known problem and I am blaming it on the slow hardware I am using (old Toshiba laptop with a PII processor at 266 MHz with 62 MB RAM (64 actually but 2 for the onboard video). Also, I am using the LFS LiveCD. I then issued the touch /etc/ld.so.conf command. Then, make install. At this point I got an error message complaining about the fact that /usr/bin/iconv.new is not a directory. I don't know what this means or what impact it will have if I continue with building the system. make -C: iconv subdir_install make[2]: Entering directory `/sources/glibc-2.3.6/iconv' /tools/bin/install -c -m 644 iconv.h /usr/include/iconv.h /tools/bin/install -c -m 644 gconv.h /usr/include/gconv.h /tools/bin/install -c /sources/glibc-build/iconv/iconv_prog /usr/bin/iconv.new /tools/bin/install: accessing `/usr/bin/iconv.new': Not a directory make[2]: *** [/usr/bin/iconv] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/sources/glibc-2.3.6/iconv' make[1]: *** [iconv/subdir_install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/sources/glibc-2.3.6' make: *** [install] Error 2 I ran a search on google and apparently someone had a similar issue when installing glibc-2.2.5 in version 4 of the book. He posted the problem on the lfs-support mailing list in 2002 but I could't find any replies to his posting (http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-support/2002-November/012018.html ). I would also like to note that the search function on the website didn't seem to work for me. Even if I used a very generic keyword like "glibc" the search timed out after 10 seconds.
