Hi all

I noticed that during LFS build, some programs will not work after they are installed, because their libraries are in /tools/lib and /tools/lib is not in the search path of the dynamic linker.

An example is e2fsprogs, ldd on /bin/chattr results in:

        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd8a1e8000)
        libe2p.so.2 => /lib/libe2p.so.2 (0x00007f827f8e0000)
        libcom_err.so.2 => /lib/libcom_err.so.2 (0x00007f827f6dc000)
        libblkid.so.1 => not found
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f827f322000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f827f104000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f827faea000)


So, I thought it would be an idea to create a tools.conf in /etc/ld.so.conf.d after installation of glibc and run /sbin/ldconfig, so programs find the missing libraries. As I assume that those entries come last, the programs will link to the proper libraries as soon as they become available. Or is there anything problematic with this solution?

Of course, it would also have to be mentioned at the end of chapter six to remove that file again, and maybe re-run /sbin/ldconfig.


Cheers
Tim
