I have read de LFS FAQ and, about this question, I have checked if all it's ok.
I use the lfs LiveCD so I know the kernel is configured correctly. root:/sources# ls -l /dev/ptmx crw-rw-rw 1 root tty 5, 2 Dec 30 2007 /dev/ptmx root:/sources# ls -ld /dev/pts drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 15 12:00 /dev/pts I think all the permissions are ok. At this moment of the build of lfs there is not yet a /etc/fstab file. And if I run this command as root user inside de chroot environment the result is ok root:/sources# expect -c "spawn ls" spawn ls I wonder if it's possible, with a user package account, run that command with the same results for test the builds of binutils and gcc. In the case of glibc there was no problem and the installation went ok except for a little problem with the /usr/include/scsi directory. That directory was created first for the installation of Linux-Headers and glibc also wants to install some files there, so, that directory must be an install directory. The former problem with the header /usr/include/scsi/scsi.h is no more present because Linux-Headers no more install that file. Regards.
