LFS problem, chapter 5.8

[Bemk]

Hey all,

I've got a little problem. I am doing LFS, book 6.4 and in chapter 5.8 (Adjusting the tool chain) I run into a problem. I need to do:

mv -v /tools/$(gcc -dumpmachine)/bin/{ld,ld-old}

But when I do so I het the error: No such file or directory
I have done:

echo $(gcc -dumpmachine)

and the output was: "i486-pc-linux-gnu". I have in the directory /tools some similar directories:
- i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
and:
- I686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc-4.3.2

I am using the LFS live cd. I have had a compiler error with glibc while trying to compile it. here's my note of it:

GlibC-tools --- (native) -mtune=switch --- solved by removing option

A google search resulted in nothing but info on old books and don't make much sense anymore on this book. I can't find anything in the FAQ either. Can someone help me?

I'd be realy greatful if you could help me to tackle this problem.

Never mind, I just replaced the 4 in i486-pc ... with a 6 manually and now I hope it'll work.

I'm not sure about the fix as of yet, but last night I ran into similar problems compiling the CRUX 2.5 kernel. I think the new version of gcc (4.3.2) is having some issues at this point. Would you be able to use the previous version (4.2.2)?

I really don't have any other ideas, but maybe that will help?

[Bemk]

isn't the LFS live CD using 4.1.2??

and how do I check that?

[jayd512]

According to Distrowatch, LFS uses 4.3.2. Like I said though, I ran into the same thing last night, and haven't gotten around it yet
I plan on trying again later tonight, so if I get something going I'll post back.

Found it out already, and it is using version 4.1.2

Maybe the problem is there a bit longer. Let's just wait for other responses.

I am using the Live CD, I still haven't got a working system. The Live CD is my host system with compiler that I am using. I am in chapter 5.10 already and encountering another problem XD. Expect won't get compiled and gives a whole list of errors. Things like has no member named 'wait'.

I have added to my msn name: --- I hate compiler errors!

I have found the source of this error though, according to a site expect.nist.gov or something like says that expect 5.43 isn't designed to work with tcl 8.5, so that's not nice. I have to find a newer version.

Edit: Made a small reading mistake (don't expect me to work at full capacity at 0:30), I think it should support it, but I am just a bit too tired. I'm just going to sleep now, and I'll see in the morning.
