I have a problem in LFS 7.3 chapter 7.6. LFS-Bootscripts-20130123

Code:

root:/etc/sysconfig# cd $LFS/sources/
root:/sources# tar xf lfs-bootscripts-20130123.tar.bz2
bash: tar: command not found
root:/sources# tar xf lfs-bootscripts-20130123.tar.bz2
bash: tar: command not found
root:/sources# tar xf lfs-bootscripts-20130123.tar.bz2 
bash: tar: command not found
root:/sources# tar
bash: tar: command not found
root:/sources# tar xf lfs-bootscripts-20130123.tar.bz2 
bash: tar: command not found

the tar is "command not found"

please help me to recover it.,,. :|

Try these commands

Quote:

echo $PATH

You should get the working path. Tar has to be in one of the directories you see. If not, set it up by the book.

Quote:

which tar

has a look for tar. I have it in /usr/bin, which might be $LFS/usr/bin in your case.

'which' is a separate package from BLFS the op may not have it installed if not try 'type' which is a bash builtin that gives similar info

This also looks weird:

It looks like PS1 shows the full path you are standing in, if that is the case then LFS isn't set correctly.

On the other hand: You are talking about chapter 7 which does not use the LFS variable (all is done inside the chrooted environment).

First thing I would look at would be the chroot command. Did you use it correctly (as mentioned here: reentering the chroot environment).
