Ambition, and having goals which encourage you to learn, is great. But I fear you have a lot of topics to learn about. I suggest that your first step should be to get the network on your own machine working. If you can connect to wired ethernet using the Via Rhine you will have a far easier time building a useful system. If for some reason you have to use a usb modem, I don't think we're the best people to help : using ppp is not common, most of us use either wired ethernet or wifi. Googling for "linux using ppp0 usb" found the following links which might be helpful : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/3G_and_GPRS_modems_with_pppd - some of the detail is specific to how Arch bootscripts are organized, I'd forgotten all the intricacies of ppp 'chat' scripts (I last used a modem more than 10 years ago, even then it was an obsolete and painful way of connecting). http://kiranjammula.wordpress.com/2010/10/03/gprs-connection-using-ppp-daemon-on-arm-linux-using-bluetoothusb-modem/ which is a blog post from 2010 about using a bluetooth/usb modem for a GPRS connection on (some sort of) ARM processor http://www.acmesystems.it/ppp which is another link for PPP over GPRS, on some sort of embedded board, using debian http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialPPP.html which is a general tutorial on ppp from YoLinux - it's old (it mentions Redhat 6.2, which was about 14 years ago) so it will cover "regular" modems, not usb (I've no idea how different they are). Just in case the point isn't obvious - if you don't have a network connection, you can't download any source code. LFS is all about building from source. 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

Do you have the via-rhine driver built into the kernel? Device Drivers -> Network device support -> Ethernet driver support -> VIA Devices VIA Rhine support I'm not really familiar with USB modems. I haven't used a modem in 10 years. However the VIA site indicates a PCI network card.

I stopped trying to help, after that, as it has been about three years since I used a USB modem, the netbook used has had the HD reformatted, and by memory I have not much to say. That time, I was using a minimal Ubuntu (installed with the alternative cd, then added, I think, lxde or fluxbox). Anyway, those days, I was trying wicd, which was not able to give me the connection, because it was ppp. ISTR that I needed wpa_supplicante and ppp, not sure if afterwards I notice any of the two was considered not necessary, although wpa_supplicant, from memory, was essential. The interface for the USB device is probably not eth*, but ppp, like ppp0, but sorry, this is from memory. Hope this helps John or anybody else to helping him. OTOH, I believe that if he could install network-manager, all his problems would be solved. I am considering that he has all drivers, do not know if it is necessary to enable this in the kernel. One thing that I do not recall in any previous post from John is which version of LFS is being used (probably a version where udev was using the old good eth* names, if I or Pierre knew that, we would not have written those two first replies), if it is 64 or 32 bit.

Looks like a PATH issue or a Chapter 5 perl install issue.
Do you have /tools/lib/perl5/5.18.0/unicore/Heavy.pl?
In your case that would be 5.16.1 since I am looking at the current SVN
build.

Looking through the logs, I found the same line ("Can't locate

I better know it before I have to restart with chapter 6 (or even ch.5)

Anybody any idea? Thanks in advance,

A simple web search with your favourite browser and your favourite

When you started bottom posting, you added your text under Bruce's

Smart mail clients are able to omit signature lines when you hit

You might want to look in your email client's configuration. If you are
in a linux user group already, the easiest thing may be asking for help
there.
So much for email client rant ;)
I personally built my first few LFS systems (that was 6.3/6.4) more or
less alone, but I had some background already. I would not recommend
LFS as linux "first time", except you're prepared for some pain :)
cheers

[lfs-support] Can't compile Check-0.9.9 package
Hello, everybody!
I'm trying to get my firs LFS, based on 7.3 version of The Book.
The host system is Debian Wheezy 7.0 with 3.2.0 kernel. All requirements
for host system were met. The lfs user environments ($LFS variable etc.)
set properly.
Now I'm in the middle of chapter 5 "Constructing a Temporary System".
All was okay till package, mentioned in the subject.
First command, "./configure --prefix=/tools" goes okay. But when I'm trying
to say next "make", I get compilation errors:
---
libtool: compile: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -g -O2 -Wall -ansi
-pedantic -Wextra -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wwrite-strings
-Wno-variadic-macros -MT putenv.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/putenv.Tpo -c
putenv.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/putenv.o
putenv.c:5:1: error: expected identifier or '(' before '{' token
make[2]: *** [putenv.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/check-0.9.9/lib'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/check-0.9.9'
make: *** [all] Error 2
---
If I'm understanding the problem correctly, there's some error in
lib/putenv.c file. And I've tried to fix it! The mentioned file looked like
this:
---
#include "libcompat.h"
int
putenv (const char *string CK_ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED);
{
assert (0);
return 0;
}
---
There was a semicolon after the function header. I've removed it. After
that compile stage was done properly. Unfortunately, after correct
compilation, "make check command" failed to pass all the test suites. So I
don't know what to do... and thanks in advance for any advices and
solutions.

Yours faithfully,
