That should be a reference to x_c_keyword (with a 'd' not an 'e').
Single bit error on your disk or in your RAM ? ('d'=x0064,
'e'=x0065).
Alternatively, perhaps you typed all of the above and
mistranscribed it or miskeyed it ? If the error really did mention
x_c_keyword I've no idea what went wrong.
In either case, I'd be inclined to delete the gettext-0.17
directory and retry in case it was a one-off inexplicable error.

Error in NCURSES-5.7 Procedure?
Hi,
If true, this should go to the attention of LFS Developers.
If specific to my type configuration, maybe in a Wiki,
to whom it may concern.
If wrong, please disregard.
Before installing the 5.7, on my ncurses-5.4 system
(circa Oct. 2005), I had this chain of five links:
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 - /usr/lib/libcurses.so -
/usr/lib/libncurses.so - /lib/libncurses.so.5 -
/lib/libncurses.so.5.4
Crazy, but I suppose it was left like that after the
ncurses-5.4 procedure (and it worked for me).
Unfortunately, some important applications rely on
'/usr/lib/libncurses.so.5' (ldd ...) such as
'vi' (7.2), 'less' (382) and BASH (3.2.15).
In the 5.7 procedure, at the 'for' loop:
for lib in curses ncurses form panel menu ; do \
rm -vf /usr/lib/lib${lib}.so ; \
echo INPUT(-l${lib}w) /usr/lib/lib${lib}.so ; \
... ,
the nice chain above is broken by the removal of
'/usr/lib/libcurses.so', thus leaving
'/usr/lib/libncurses.so.5' dangling hopelessly.
For anybody with my type of configuration the system
becomes unusable at this point, both as unable to
run 'vi' or 'less' (for example, to follow the procedure)
and because it crashes on 'bash's untimely death.
A solution I humbly offer is to run something like
ln -sfv /lib/libncurses.so.5 /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5
just before the 'for' loop
(in '/lib', libncurses.so.5 - libncurses.so.5.4
which is still serviceable.)
Fortunately, this temporary work-around will be fixed
properly and painlessly just before the end of the
procedure, on the non-wide copy:
cp -av lib/lib*.so.5* /usr/lib
While at it, I also suggest replacing the above copy with
mv -fv ..
which saves some grief for those who use
alias cp='cp -i'
and, more importantly, preserves the original (compile)
time of the 'libncurses.so.5' symlink.
Thank you for your consideration,
-- Alex

None that I know of. The steps ran successfully (as far as they went). Nothing seems to have been missing or awry. Obviously, I'd be looking forward to an example of what something missing (or wrong) could have led to my _specific_ problem. There are quite a few things that you have not mentioned. The instructions for the entire book have been checked with an automated procedure ... 2. As I mentioned in my post, the problem (if any) is corrected automatically (automagically, as they say) at the very last step (the non-wide copy). So if the procedure is in a script (I assume this is what you call automated) I suppose the problem might not show up if the script runs uninterrupted. 2.1. What fraction of users use the automated procedure (as a guess)? 2.2. Where can one find the automated procedure? what is your host system? 3. Sorry, my fault. I thought the problem was independent of the particular host system. A few details (more can be provided, upon request): i686-pc-linux-gnu, (B)LFS. Kernel: 2.6.28.8, Udev: 141 One might say I'm at _B_LSF level, with certain holes plugged in with the help of _L_FS procedures. Moving from my original, _2005_ LFS ncurses 5.4 to the latest, 5.7, is a case in point (i.e. keeping up with the Joneses). Third, are you compiling ncurses from chapter 5 or chapter 6? 4. Chapter 6 (chapter 5 procedure, which I suppose is for installing ncurses for the first time, is very simple, not containing the more sophisticated steps of 6, as seen in my post.) In virtually every case, problems like yours are due to an accidental deviation from the book's earlier instructions or trying to do things in an unsupported manner. 5. No deviations (accidental or otherwise). I thought I provided enough details about how you hit the problem by running the steps _one at a time_ (not automatically). Of course, the 'for' loop (whose effects I'm suspicious of), is run all at once as a single step. Can be run as one line at a time but that would really be splitting hairs. Please note, other people with ncurses at 5.4 or later may have ended up with a different five-link chain than mine. As I pointed out, this krazy chain is at the root of a problem like this. This is why I mentioned Wiki as a source of help for the (few) unfortunate guys like me. If this is your first LFS system, follow the instructions exactly. After you learn more, then deviate as you see fit. 6. I followed the instructions (of Chapter 6) to the letter. I'm repeating myself, but based on the premise (configuration) I described, one can see the problem by just looking at the steps to be taken to the 'for' and including. I don't like to deviate. When I did was to fix the dangling link and thus the crashed sytem.

I'm still having trouble understanding this : you're saying that you are in chroot building lfs-dev, and symlinks in your original install are breaking, causing problems in e.g. vim. Note that at this point in a normal build we don't have vim, and whatever we do in chroot should not alter your host system. To me, that sounds like you are using a rebuild everything in place, but using newer versions method. We should be able to rebuild in-place to prove that a system can rebuild itself, but upgrading versions of random packages without attending to idiosyncracies and symlinks _will_ eventually produce this sort of problem. I've updated a lot of packages on my systems (mostly blfs, but some in lfs) since LFS-6.3 and some of them need extra actions to fix things up. I've also had a lot of breakage porting the ncursesw-5.6 stuff to my own builds of clfs (the symptom there is that the next package, procps I think, fails to compile). But, you say you haven't deviated from the book. So, what am I missing ? In particular, how are the updates in chroot able to trash your host system ? You also say that your *host* system was running udev-141 (I like that, but I'm surprised if it was an upgrade from earlier than this year), and yet it was running ncurses-5.4. -EDOES_NOT_COMPUTE Also, for LFS systems, it's conventional to label them by the book version (release, or date) - running a recent kernel (or udev version) says nothing about the underlying system. I think we can assume it isn't using gcc-3.3-series for that kernel, but basically you've told us nothing. OTOH, if you have a mix of package versions then the original LFS version won't tell us anything either. Don't get me wrong - I like keeping systems going. But I take the old-fashioned view that the best way to upgrade LFS is to build a new one on a different partition. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
