[lfs-support] Chroot failure
I'm doing LFS 7.0 on an Ubuntu 11.10 system. My system rebooted and I need to get back into the Chroot environment. I mounted all the virtual kernel file systems, but when I ran the Chroot command in section 6.4, I received: chroot: failed to run command `/tools/bin/env': No such file or directory How to I chroot I to my new system? -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Yeah, very time-consuming (move to a new name, build an LFS system, see what breaks. However, *one* of the above (libiberty.a) is not needed although the book goes out of its way to install it. In reality, every package that needs this should ship its own version, but I no longer have the link to a (semi-}authoritative statement. I expect political fallout if I ever try to remove it, and anyway I've still got 30 static libs (on the old LFS-6.8 box I'm on at the moment) so static toolchain libs haven't been a priority. Will try removing the others for my next build [ nothing fancy, just sorting out my own revised desktop build sequence ]. 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

There should be a descriptive error message - without that, all attempts to help are just guesswork! Since you appear to be using the book's old 2.30 gnome versions, I think you should try 2.30.3 : I see a couple of things in the 2.30.2 and 2.30.3 'news' files at http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/metacity/2.30/ which look related to preventing build problems - in particular, -Werror gives problems where the newer versions of gcc have started to warn about more things. 2.34.1 is used with gnome-3 so it might require newer versions of GConf, zenity, or libcanberra. [ see Wayne's book ]. I've used libcanberra-0.28 on LFS-6.8 as well as LFS-7.0, and I know GConf-3.2.3 works fine on LFS-7.0 with gtk+-3. As to zenity, I have no experience. As always, YMMV. 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
Re: [lfs-support] Chroot failure
No, I had just forgotten to mount the partition that I had LFS on. Thanks anyways!

It's now building its new kernel, so LFS has completed without other issues caused by hiding more toolchain libs. I wonder what will break in the rest of the build. 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
