I think I see the "problem".  Trent has two different threads running here,
and, I think Ken, you may be replying to one thread whilst referencing
another.  I have only just read the other (earlier) message from Trent and
seen the " items in it".  Yes, that was a typo earlier s/hyyp/http.

Ken, what I'm finding weird is that, when the mail arrived at my end, it
was perfectly formed with no " items in it".  Is it Trent, is it
you, or is it me that has the problem?  I really don't know.  It would be
interesting to find out what other subscribers are seeing.

Thanks - I've never seen anything inserting http:// like that before
and didn't realise those two suffixes happened to match TLDs.

LOL.

And to Trent - yes, I saw your followup, but after I'd sent my
original reply.

I came up on this.

in Chapter 6.46

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable-systemd/chapter06/kmod.html

Here is what is returned from "make":


make --no-print-directory all-recursive
Making all in .

CCLD     tools/kmod
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/liblzma.so : file not recognized:

make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs

Very weird output with those  items in it.


collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [Makefile:1662: tools/kmod] Error 1
make[1]: *** [Makefile:2167: all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:1219: all] Error 2


I see it is related to Xz from the previous section 6.45. I have rerun that
section 3-4 times now. I have also removed /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/liblzma.so
 and rebuilt section 6.45 again.

And again - something odd in your mailer ?

But what on earth do you mean when you say you have removed
/usr/bin/ld ?

Not sure of what to make of this, and not seeing anything online about it.


Looking at a completed sysv build:

ken@milliways ~ $file /usr/lib/liblzma.*
/usr/lib/liblzma.la.hidden: libtool library file, ASCII text
/usr/lib/liblzma.so:symbolic link to ../../lib/liblzma.so.5.2.4

So, liblzma should have been moved to /lib and the symlink fixed up.
All at the end of the xz instructions.  I suggest you look at your
command history.  But after a bad move it's possible that the
readlink might give a weird result.  So before rerunning, compare
what that readlink currently returns against my output above, and
perhaps remove the mis-installed xz before repeating xz.

There are several places where we move libraries to /lib and they
are all candidates for weird errors if they go wrong.  And you will
probably only see those error messages in an LFS context because
most other distros, at least those using the infernal systemd, do
not separate /lib.

ĸen


Yeah, for some reason the message got malformed, but as I mentioned I 
was able to resolve. It is one of those sections in which pasting all 
the commands at once gets messed up.



Thanks for responding!

If this is what occurred before, I missed it that time around. It
looks like something is reading and then presenting all the dotSO and
dotLA file names as URLs:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains

TLDs.. Top level domains.. dotLA is Laos, and dotSO is Somalia.. :)

Okay, you all can ignore this.

I guess I needed to take the message literally. Somehow, the liblzma.so 
 file was turned into a directory filled with files.


I did the directory style of removal, and reran the command "ln -svf 
../../lib/$(readlink /usr/lib/liblzma.so) /usr/lib/liblzma.so" again, 
and now it is a file as it should be.


All is well now.
