I am trying to install LFS9.1. It is the third time I install a LFS version, the first two times I did it, everything ran flawlessly. Indeed, my host system was bulilt with LFS7.5. But this time I am having trouble with the installation of GCC in the chroot environment. Compilation (make) complains about not finding libncursesw.so.5. I have tried many different things to get around this error, all of them with no success. 1) I have tried copying libncursesw.so.5 from the host into /usr/lib and/or /lib.2) I have tried to go ahead with the compiler installed in tools until I installed ncurses-6.2. In this package I have followed the notes that suggest installation of ncurses version 5 (page 134) and then tried installing gcc.3) I have tried to cheat the compiler by linking libncursesw.so.5 -> libncurses.so.5.4)I have tried to use the option without-ncurses in configure. As I said above, none of this tries have solved the problem. I still get the error: Making all in po make[4]: Entering directory '/sources/gcc-9.2.0/build/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/po' msgfmt -o de.mo ../../../../libstdc++-v3/po/de.pomsgfmt: error while loading shared libraries: libncursesw.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
when running make. I have followed the instructions from the book literally up to this point. The only change was using gcc-9.3.0 in tools. The book says it has not been tested. Could it be the cause of this error? By the way, I have tried installing gcc-9.2.0 and gcc-9.3.0 in chroot. Both fail with the same message. I might try recompiling the tools using gcc-9.2.0 again, but as this might be a little time consuming, I would like to hear from you your suggestions or opinions on this. I am totally stuck here. Could anyone help me?
