hi all,

well i completed chapter 5 as specified in the Docs , am using LFS 6.0, and i didnt get any error while installing the packages........but once i entered "chroot' n chapter 6, am getting error when i type the command,

expect -c "spawn ls"

it is throwing this error

there are no more ptys.

how to rectify this error??......i have re-tried the chapter 6 several times..but the end result is same!!

i would be happy if any one can help me..

thanks in advance...

with regards,

sounds like you forgot a step -

Code:

mkdir -p $LFS/{proc,sys}
mount -t proc proc $LFS/proc
mount -t sysfs sysfs $LFS/sys
mount -f -t ramfs ramfs $LFS/dev
mount -f -t tmpfs tmpfs $LFS/dev/shm
mount -f -t devpts -o gid=4,mode=620 devpts $LFS/dev/pts

or possibly the host system doesn't have devpts mounted?

Code:

chmod 666 /dev/ptmx
chmod u=rwxs,g=rx,o=rx $LFS/tools/libexec/pt_chown
chown root:root $LFS/tools/libexec/pt_chown

helped me. have a look at the lfs wiki for more infos
