What does running this as root get you as opposed to running it as a regular user? I don't have root access. So I ran this as a regular user. I'm doing all this in unusual circumstances but it's a long story. Basically I'm using LFS as a basis for installing a system in parallel with the existing Redhat (RHEL5) system. The system is not my own but my company's system, and I'm not allowed to mess with the actual operating system. Nor can we upgrade to a newer system for various reasons. So I have to install everything in my own directories. I've succeeded in doing this, and am now tying up a lot of loose ends. So in these emails when I write /usr/lib, what I really have is /home/afbacher/LFS71/lfs80/usr/lib, and I'm chopping out the stuff I think is irrelevant to getting help from you gurus. > The /lib section should have libbz2.so.1.0 -> libbz2.so.1.0.6 There are no entries anywhere for this stuff. > Then > > $ ls -l /lib/libbz* > > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Aug 22 05:24 /lib/libbz2.so.1.0 -> > libbz2.so.1.0.6 > -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 69018 Aug 22 15:43 /lib/libbz2.so.1.0.6 Doing the equivalent, and not chopping anything out, I get this: afbacher:~/LFS71/lfs80/lib$ ls -l /home/afbacher/LFS71/lfs80/lib/libbz* lrwxrwxrwx 1 afbacher pmbude 15 Aug 22 10:55 /home/afbacher/LFS71/lfs80/lib/libbz2.so.1.0 -> libbz2.so.1.0.6* -rwxr-xr-x 1 afbacher pmbude 219K Aug 22 09:41 /home/afbacher/LFS71/lfs80/lib/libbz2.so.1.0.6* afbacher:~/LFS71/lfs80/lib$ ls -l /home/afbacher/LFS71/lfs80/usr/lib/libbz* -rw-r--r-- 1 afbacher pmbude 343K Aug 22 09:45 /home/afbacher/LFS71/lfs80/usr/lib/libbz2.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 afbacher pmbude 23 Aug 22 10:56 /home/afbacher/LFS71/lfs80/usr/lib/libbz2.so -> ../../lib/libbz2.so.1.0* lrwxrwxrwx 1 afbacher pmbude 23 Aug 24 15:09 /home/afbacher/LFS71/lfs80/usr/lib/libbz2.so.1.0 -> ../../lib/libbz2.so.1.0* I suspect that something to do with ldconfig is my problem, but I don't understand how that plays into the complete Linux system.
