Hi everyone, I m having a go at LFS (v6.2) and everything went smoothly until I got to chapter 6.12 (GCC build). I applied the various sed substitutions, ran configure and got to the "make" command. Everything compiles fine for about 3 SBUs and then it fails with: /sources/gcc-build-pass3/gcc/xgcc

Did you add necessary drivers to the kernel? It not work directly by compile the kernel but there is need to add some with "make menuconfig". Unfortunately, I don't remember what I choose. Nadav On 1/20/07, Slackrat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The precise message on boot is > > VFS: Cannot o

Do you have script like that? since It user readable but it harder to parse in simple regular expression: $ ldd /bin/bash linux-gate.so.1 => (0xe000) libreadline.so.5 => /lib/libreadline.so.5 (0xb7f6c000) libhistory.so.5 => /lib/libhistory.so.5 (0xb7f64000) li

Thank you for taking the time to explain what I was geussing at. And I think ldd used with package_users will put me directly on the path to a dynamic dependecy tree. for instance ldd bash returns bash's dependencies which in turn are owned by the package that installed them. A script that updates
