Make target libdl.so.2 missing

[disposable05@…]

I have been through the manual several times and am having problems trying to get the glibc-2.3.4 to install. The 'make install' always fails at this same point:

make[5]: Entering directory `/home/lfs/glibc-2.3.4/time' make[5]: Nothing to be done for `rtld-all'. make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/lfs/glibc-2.3.4/time' make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/lfs/glibc-2.3.4/elf' make[3]: * No rule to make target `/home/lfs/glibc-2.3.4-build/dlfcn/libdl.so.2', needed by `/home/lfs/glibc-2.3.4-build/elf/sprof'. Stop.

So far I have tried using the glibc-2.3.4-20040701 version as well as downloading the fully released glibc-2.3.4. I even tried glibc-2.3.5. And it seems to compile the previous steps (binutils, gcc-core and headers) properly.

My host system is running kernel 2.6.8.1 and the host compiler is gcc-3.3.4 both meeting the requirements of LFS 6.0.

What section is this error occuring? What is your host distro?

[disposable05@…]

The section is in the "make install" portion of glibc-2.3.4-20040701 in Chapter 5. Host distro is a Slackware v10 with and kernel updated to 2.6.8.1

Can you show my the output of your host distro's libc. Use the following command from your run line "/lib/libc.so.6". It should give you output like this. # /lib/libc.so.6 GNU C Library unstable (20040828) release version 2.3.4.9, by Roland McGrath et al. Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Your running linuxthreads, you need to update your glibc to use NPTL.

Here is the link to the host requirements ​http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/chapter05/hostreqs.html

Closing as invalid.

Thanks for the help and information. As I said when I posted this, I read the section of the manual that you referenced several times. Since I am not an expert on the inner workings of the kernel, might I suggest that some further clarification be added. The reference says "The host must be running at least a 2.6.2 kernel compiled with GCC-3.0 or higher. There are two main reasons for this high requirement. First, the Native POSIX Threading Library (NPTL) test suite will segfault if the host's kernel has not been compiled with GCC-3.0 or a later version." It was because of this reference that I upgraded the host kernel to 2.6.8.1 from 2.4.26. I also double-checked that the host kernel was compiled with GCC-3.0 or higher. To me, the book implied that if I had the correct host kernel version and compiled with the correct GCC that I would be OK. And since I had no seg faults I had no reason to look into the host system having NPTL.

Once again, thanks.
