These were the last few lines
can some please help me in this?

This error can arise due to many situations.

The most notorious of them is ur environment variables?
Did you restart your system at some point?
If you did...did you set the environment variables again?

Follow these steps

1) Go back to the begining of the chapter 6 and see what environment variables are being set...

2) check your chroot command

3) Did you installed the linker properly in Bin utils. What was the result of the dummy.c prog

First perform these steps and then tell me...i'll try to help you as much as i can
