Your english is good, but you do not understand what you are doing. Making errors is common, and many of us have learned from our own errors. But we needed to put some effort into understanding what went wrong. In this specific case, from the *host* run ldd /tools/bin/xz That will show you at least one link to a host library in /usr or /lib, instead of a link to a library in /tools. Perhaps you have similar erors in other packages - as well as not correctly adjusting the toolchain (as mentioned in the FAQ), this can also happen if you stopped the build and then returned to it without setting up the environment correctly. I recall you posted that your sd card had become unmounted because of inactivity : that is a weird thing to happen, but perhaps plausible for desktop distros which try to guess, wrongly, what you want to do. You also said you had built LFS, but it didn't boot. Rebuilding LFS in the hope that will fix the problem is silly : sometimes, a rebuild is needed, but until you understand *why* it won't boot you are grasping at straws. Often, fixing the kernel config, or /etc/fstab, or the grub command line, will get a system which boots. It all depends on the exact error. And finally, since you didn't respond to my earlier post, why are you building on a card ? Booting removable (usb) storage is harder, and (cheap, consumer-grade) cards and sticks are not intended for long-term use with "sane" filesystems - they are built down to a price, and targetted at the wear patterns of FAT filesystems. Expect them to die suddenly. So, I recommend you examine every package you installed in /tools to determine which of them are linked to host libraries, and then spend some time thinking about how you built them (e.g. leaving the system, and reloading it) so that you do not repeat the same procedural mistakes. I guess by now that you have learned to remove the source directories (and any build directories) when building a package the second time, but I'll stress that again to emphasize it. Building LFS can be quite hard, there is no need to make it harder for yourself. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
