I was talking about if you have overclocked your processor to run the processor at a higher frequency (the core) or
your PC is in a room with the temperature over 80 F degrees.

But i am running LFS 5 on intel P4 1.7 GHZ with 256 MB RAM and my processor is not overclocked.

Hi
I know that the threads pretty old but i just came across the problem, so for future searchers

http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermai...ay/000142.html

Basically just prefix this before the configure

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tools/lib

See `config.log' for more details.
Maybe you could try as follow :

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tools/lib ../glibc-2.3.6/configure --prefix=/usr (and the rest of the command as described in the book)

Hi, it is always a good idea to post which host system you are working on, which LFS book you are using and in which chapter this error occured.

Since I do not recall having compiled a package called fftw-3.2.2 during my LFS-build I suppose that this package is from BLFS or the LFS forum is not the right place to address your question at all.
