Hello,
I have subscribed this list recently, so let me introduce myself:
My name is Pierre Labastie. I have been practicing linux system building
as a hobby for quite a while: I think my first attempts (with Linux From
Scratch) were undertaken in 2003. Time passing, I switched to DIY linux,
to which I made a few small contributions. When that project became
stale, I switched back to LFS, mainly using jhalfs (which is now fairly
old too. I am working on an update, which I plan to announce on
alfs-discuss). So far so good. Since it is a hobby, I do not have much
time to contribute, although I'd like to. The following is just a small
piece of information, which might be of use to Debian (Ubuntu) users.
I read the recent posts on the location of the glibc library on Ubuntu:
Maybe I can try to make the issue clearer with the following. My host
runs on Debian 64 bit wheezy/sid. There are three /lib* directories, but
only two /usr/lib* (no /usr/lib64). Actually, /lib64 contains only
symlinks of ld-linux* to files in /lib, I guess to fulfill LSB
requirements.
For the libc installation, the following commands and their outputs say
it all:
$ find /lib{,64,32} /usr/lib{,32} -name 'libc-*.so' -print
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.13.so
/lib32/libc-2.13.so
$ /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.13.so
GNU C Library (Debian EGLIBC 2.13-23) stable release version 2.13, by
Roland McGrath et al.
[...]
$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
$ ls /etc/ld.so.conf.d
atlas.conf libc.conf x86_64-linux-gnu.conf zz_i386-biarch-compat.conf
$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf
# libc default configuration
/usr/local/lib
$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu.conf
# Multiarch support
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/zz_i386-biarch-compat.conf
# Legacy biarch compatibility support
/lib32
/usr/lib32
So, `version-check.sh' outputs (among other things...):
version-check.sh: line 22: /lib/libc.so.6: No such file or directory
Actually, current jhalfs does not find it either. On the other hand, the
build runs without problem. If Fernando had a failure for gcc, it must
be something else.
Have a good day,
Pierre Labastie
