I don't think rebuilding glibc will help, and I'm not sure if the option exists in glibc-2.18. My first thought was to point you to the 7.4 BLFS book, which used 0.2.3 : http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/7.4/basicnet/libtirpc.html But I've now looked at my own git commits for the buildscripts I use. I see that I only updated to libtirpc-0.2.4 in February, as part of a catch-up to what was already in BLFS. Looking at the diff, I see that BLFS has moved libtirpc.so to /lib and created a versioned symlink from /usr/lib. I guess that you have a problem with the symlink ;-) [ I've lost count of the number of times _I_ create broken symlinks in my own builds. ] ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page No, it was not a symlink this time ( I removed it just to check and the rpcbind build failed earlier, not finding -ltirpc ). I noticed that the BLFS-7.4 instructions for libtirpc-0.2.3 include a patch, a sed and a CFLAG that are not in the current book. After rebuilding libtirpc-0.2.4 in the same manner as in BLFS-7.4 ( there is an updated patch), rpcbind compiled without error. Of course now I don't know which (sed patch or CFLAG ) solved the problem or, indeed, if anything will work when I get to NFS-Utils! Anyway, thanks for the help. P.S. In the course of this I built glibc-2.18 with and without the --enable-obsolete-rpc flag and it does seem to do more than just copy headers. -- Ian Macdonald iama...@gmail.com -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

So I took a look at the cached version). The old rpc headers problem. If this is not LFS-7.1, perhaps you failed to install the glibc rpc headers. See LFS chapter 6 glibc for whichever version you are using (-enable-obsolete-rpc for LFS-7.5). We used to go into detail somewhere in BLFS to ensure that the rpc headers had been installed (specifically re LFS-7.1), but at the moment I can not spot where that is. My reading of your problem is that libtirpc compiled and installed ok, but rpcbind is failing to link. I _thought_ libtirpc usually failed to install if the headers were missing. Maybe I'm misreading the problem - is this LFS-svn from the last couple of weeks (it was ok on about 31st March, but conceivably something in the changes to include systemd might have broken things although that seems unlikely) ? I'm also in awe of I don't need encryption.

[blfs-support] Glxgears freezing X
Hi, I've just finished building Xorg7.7 on a new LFS 7.2 build. It seemed to work, the window manager ( dwm) comes up and an xterm opens allowing command line operations to run. However, running glxgears freezes keyboard, mouse and even the reset button, making it hard to see any errors. I have rebuilt MesaLib with the xdemo patch, glu and the xorg server but the problem remains. If I run my previous kernel ( 3.3.1 ) with the new build glxgears works, suggesting the problem may be a setting in the new kernel (3.5.2). I've checked the obvious settings in Graphic support, AGP and DRM are enabled for intel and Xorg.0.log reports no errors. Googling suggests no one else is seeing this problem. Any hints would be appreciated. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Look at the xorg config section and change ~/.xiinitrc In the meantime we have some new experiences: 1.) There are no differences in the behaviour of the desktop and the laptop ( my wife's system ). After recompiling the kernel of the desktop ( it had not been renewed since the LFS7 installation ) it does not function anymore, exactly the same behaviour like the laptop I'm not sure if I've parsed that correctly - you say that the desktop used to work, but the new kernel broke it ? I assume you mean that the mouse and keyboard stopped working in xorg ? On the desktop, did you take the working config from the old kernel (hopefully, you have it in /proc/config.gz), copy it to .config in the new kernel source, and then run 'make oldconfig' ? If you did, what versions were the old and new kernels ? 2.) In my own System I do not experience any problems. The difference to 1.) is that I have the old Xorg and my wife the new one with the evdef driver. So, it _could be_ that the problem concerns the new xorg This is what makes me think I've misunderstood you - now you seem to be saying that the desktop has no problems ? Anyway, for your wife's system, have you set CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV in the kernel config ? 3.) We changed ~/xinitrc to xterm as you suggested and introduced xkb-defaults.conf. There are keyboard and mouse availaible on the console _before_ entering startx. After startx, xterm shows up but no keyboard/mouse are functioning ( wired mouse/trackball ) After the startx command, the directory /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d contains two new files, 10-evdev.conf and 11-keyboard.conf and the original xkb-defaults.conf is away. Surely 10-evdev.conf was installed by the xorg-server, and you installed 11-keyboard.conf yourself ? These are how the server is able to tie events to their sources. Actually, taking a quick look through the rendered book I can't see where 11-keyboard.conf is mentioned. I'm sure we mention it somewhere, because I believe that without it xorg should still work, but with an American keyboard layout which is not useful for everyone. I think 10-evdev.conf should be ok - it comes from the server, so it should match what everyone else has. For 11-keyboard.conf you should have something similar to this: Section InputClass Identifier keyboard-all Driver evdev Option XkbLayout gb Option XkbModel evdev Option XkbOptions ctrl_alt_bksp MatchIsKeyboard on EndSection Obviously, you will not want gb for the layout. I don't know if there are multiple german keyboard variants, but de seems a likely value to start with. Looking at my own Xorg log, I think all the useful information for debugging goes to stderr and appears on the console, not in the log. So, try using 'startx 2xorg-errors'. Do you have MagicSysRQ enabled in the kernel ? If you do (it's under Kernel Hacking), you can sync with Alt-SysRq-S, wait, then umount with Alt-SysRq-U and boot with Alt-SysRq-B : those keys should, I think, still work even if Xorg doesn't find the keyboard. If you have that, the Sync and Umount ought to allow the xorg-errors file to be updated. 5.) some final lines of Xorg.0.log: --- 9428.142] (II) GLX: Initialized DRI2 GL provider for screen 0 [ 9428.143] (II) intel(0): Setting screen physical size to 270 x 203 [ 9428.793] (II) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring) [ 9428.794] (II) config/udev: Adding input device TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint (/dev/input/mouse0) [ 9428.794] (II) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring) I think those two 'No input driver' messages are the signs that the input devices are not configured correctly. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Might be worth checking if udev is working correctly.
