Shadow will not build after installing acl and attr

[Wayne Blaszczyk]

After installing attr and acl (BLFS Version 2012-04-09), I cannot build shadow (after installing linux-pam). The following error occurs during make:

/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -o useradd useradd.o ../libmisc/libmisc.a ../lib/libshadow.la -lpam -lpam_misc -lacl -lattr libtool: link: cannot find the library /usr/usr/lib/libattr.la' or unhandled argument /usr/usr/lib/libattr.la' make[2]: * [useradd] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/sources/shadow-4.1.5/src' make[1]: * [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/sources/shadow-4.1.5' make: * [all] Error 2

Did you put libattr in /usr/usr ? If so, I suppose you could add that to /etc/ld.so.conf.

If not, where is /usr/usr coming from ? I assume it was picked up from a pkgconfig file.

There is no /usr/usr directory and I cannot find any attr.pc file. I have rebuilt this several times now with various versions and it all points to something being wrong with the current attr instructions.

My bad..I broke it. The problem is in acl. When I 'fixed' this problem, the dependency was picked up from the broken attr la file. The sed for acl will have to be sed "s@'/lib@'/usr/lib@" -i /usr/lib/libacl.la. In your case, just get rid of the double /usr in the libacl.la file and all will be well. I'll get this into the book in a sec.

Looking at my logs, there is no match for pc in either attr or acl.

WE may have some problem though. I get:

$ ldd /usr/bin/attr
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fffcf367000)
        libattr.so.1 => /usr/lib/libattr.so.1 (0x00007fce3623b000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fce35eb4000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fce3643f000)

even though /usr/lib/libattr.so.1 is symlinked to /lib, attr is not looking there. If /usr was not mounted, it may be a problem.

Replying to bdubbs@…:

We may have some problem though. I get:

$ ldd /usr/bin/attr
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fffcf367000)
        libattr.so.1 => /usr/lib/libattr.so.1 (0x00007fce3623b000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fce35eb4000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fce3643f000)

The above may be a problem just for me. I double checked and had libattr.so.1 in /usr/lib with a different date than the one in /lib. When I removed the offending files in /usr/lib, attr found libattr.so.1 => /lib64/libattr.so.1 just fine.

Fixed in r9898.
