configure: error:
*** These critical programs are missing or too old: gcc make
*** Check the INSTALL file for required versions.
I have no name!:/usr/src/glibc-build#

Please help me to rectify these problems ....
Thanks in advance.

BTW: I'm installing from Mandrake 8.0. $LFS is in hdb1.

Check if those missing files /usr/bin/gcc and /usr/bin/make exist. If so they are most likely not statically linked.

Exit chroot, reinstall those packages and try again.

Thanks.
gcc and make are inside $LFS/usr/bin.
Now I'm reinstalling gcc and make packages.
I'll post the result as soon as the installation completed.

The same problems occur after re-install gcc & make.

I think I must be miss something, gcc & make from / can run but in /usr/bin cannot.

It looks like your $PATH isn't set properly. I'm guessing it contains "usr/bin" instead of "/usr/bin" that's why when you run from the / directory usr/bin/gcc exists, but when you run from any other directory there's no usr/bin directory under the directory you are at.

So, check $LFS/root/.bash_profile and fix it if that's the case.

Thanks a lot.
It's true that I type usr/bin instead of /usr/bin in the $LFS/root/.bash_profile.
Now I'm working on glibc.
