hi!
I'm having problems installing glibc-2.3.2. I'm using the CVS version of the LFS book(which aparently is the same as the PURE_LFS.txt found at LFS Hints).
Glibc compiled ok but stoped in the middle of make check.

I used for the host os RedHat 9.0 with default config and packages.
For the LFS system i used binutils-2.14, gcc-3.3, glibc-2.3.2 and the 2.4.21 kernel.

Should I use binutils-2.13.2, gcc-3.2 and linux-2.4.20, as specified in the book? Could this be the problem?

Is this your first LFS build?

Did you read this in the FAQ :

"If this is your first time building LFS, using a version not in the book or varying from the book in any way is not a good idea. The IRC channel regulars have a saying, "FBBG". As rms, the resident bot, is quick to say, this means, "Follow Book, Book Good." They and the people on the lists have helped many an unhappy newbie who deviated from the book during that first build.

Once you've built a system "by the book", you have a stable knowledge base from which to experiment to your heart's content (or pain, as is often the case.)"


Sorry, I am new at this, so I can't specifically answer your questions, yet. Maybe you are already past the initial build and now you're 'experimenting to your heart's content'.

There isn't a lot of activity in this forum, although the interaction I have received so far is very good.

Good luck...

Edit: Hey, on that same page of the FAQ it says:

To help you on your travails, err travels, here are some notes for specific releases:
.
glibc-2.3.2: Add to your build instructions:

touch /etc/ld.so.conf &&
ln -s /static/bin/pwd /bin/pwd &&
touch /usr/include/assert.h &&

If this is the first time you've tried to build an LFS system, then I'd have to agree with itsjustme. Try not to stray from the book. Once you get the LFS system running the first time, you'll know what you're in for. Besides that, you can upgrade the software after the system is running, just like any other distribution. It doesn't have to be perfect out-of-the-gate.

Second thing I'd like to mention is, personally, I don't ever use CVS sources for anything. Go with a standard release unless you are trying to beta test the book, are a developer, or something along those lines.
