failure in the posix/annexc test on 6.9. Glibc-2.12.1 on LFS (SVN-20101110)?
hello LFS Support List, as mention on chapter 6.9. Glibc-2.12.1 You will probably see an expected (ignored) failure in the posix/annexc test so i ignored the failure and continue with the rest of the book. however at the end i got this screen when i boot the new system http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-support/attachments/20101109/ae518503/attachment.gif this is the result of the test suite for Glibc root:/sources/glibc-build# grep Error glibc-check-log make[2]: [/sources/glibc-build/posix/annexc.out] Error 1 (ignored) make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/nptl/tst-rwlock6.out] Error 1 make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/nptl/tst-rwlock7.out] Error 1 make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/nptl/tst-rwlock9.out] Error 1 make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/nptl/tst-rwlock11.out] Error 1 make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/nptl/tst-rwlock12.out] Error 11 make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/nptl/tst-rwlock14.out] Error 1 make[1]: *** [nptl/tests] Error 2 make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/rt/tst-cpuclock1.out] Error 1 make[1]: *** [rt/tests] Error 2 make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/elf/tst-xmmymm.out] Error 1 make[1]: *** [elf/tests] Error 2 make: *** [check] Error 2 thx -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Edit Bootloader screen
Hi all, I am trying out the different options to customize my settings in linux. I use compiz for desktop, used splash images for the background of grub. But in the bootloader screen, if I have to edit and print a welcome message, how do I do it? Please reply. Thanks a lot.

I don't understand the error well, and I haven't found anything else to try. BTW, other versions, like 4.5.2 or others I don't remember failed for this reason too, more or less. Any clue? Kde4 is a big piece of software, I know, so perhaps it is too hard to build on my own. thanks for any help Alberto -- duende a rayas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
Re: LFS 6.7 + BLFS SVN pure 64bit

I had great problems with some packages from BLFS after I installed LFS 6.7. And during the compile of 6.7 I had some problems but somehow I circumvented them. And the system ran. But when I tried to compile Open-Office 3.2.1, mysql 5.1.45, Python 2.6.4 and some others I had great problems, actually I couldn't compile these packagaes and some more. GLIBC always segfaulted on me. After trying for 2 weeks I reverted to LFS 6.6 and everything went smoothly. Am I the only one? Regards, Daniel I'm worried about how you worked around the problems you had building 6.7. For me, building LFS-6.7 and a few almost-6.7 svn versions on x86_64 was straightforward. For the record, I'm seeing intermittent segfaults in X with both radeon r100 and r200 video cards since I moved to a newer xorg-server / radeon driver, and yes, the last thing mentioned is libc, but that doesn't necessarily mean the problem started there. In my case I suspect the radeon driver (my problem is unpredictable, sometimes I can be using X for over 12 hours without a problem, and I suspect one of the screensavers is what triggers it). A couple of times, I've left a machine compiling something, and come back to find X had crashed during the compile, but each time the next compile worked. I don't use OOo, but I have compiled that version of python, and more-recent versions of mysql, without segfaults. Care to mention what problems you had when you were building 6.7 ? There are undoubtedly still things in BLFS which don't build on x86_64, but your problem seems to be different. 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 This is my personal experience of course, but ... The LFS 6.7/SVN builds on x86_64 with no problems. I can test with little problem, though I do have to install glibc before testing will work properly, this is probably a host system problem. libxml-2.7.5 and 2.7.6 caused quite a few problems for me, but that was related to zlibc+x86_64 data structures. Unzip needs to be built with linux_noasm instead of linux (because it uses x86 asm). I've done X, Gnome, mysql, ruby, python-2.7, nginx, cups, alsa, the full gstreamer stack (ok some media stuff did take some massaging), Boost, Firefox, and QT4.5. If someone would like, I could submit the instructions for Nginx and Boost. Other than the media stuff and Unzip, nothing segfaults, and everything compiles as is.

Configuring the Linux console-revisited
I decided to post here rather than chat. This may be usefull to another user whose primary interface is the console. After several hours of wading through pretty much useless information about console fonts and Unicode, I found a pearl here: Linkname: Into the Mist: How Linux Console Fonts Work LG #91 URL: http://tldp.org/LDP/LGNET/91/loozzr.html I mentioned wanting to edit LatArCyrHeb-16.psfu and add the missing arrow glyphs in Lynx.
