<div dir="ltr"><div><div>I was so excited! I installed the debian syatem but when I tried to mount the LFS partition it said <br><br>"mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda9,<br> missing codepage or helper program, or other error<br>
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try<br> dmesg | tail or so"<br><br>then as I was trying to investigate the LFS partitions cfdisk wouldn't even start and fdisk kept saying <br><br>"Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)"<br>
<br>Writing didn't correct the problem so instead of bugging you I figured that this might have something to do with the fact that I set the LFS partitions up when I installed debian. So I reinstalled debian w/o setting up the LFS partitions and now now cfdisk starts and I set the partitions up. But it won't let me create the file system. this is what happens:<br>
<br>root@debian:~# mkfs -v -t ext4 /dev/sda6<br>mke2fs 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012)<br>Could not stat /dev/sda6 --- No such file or directory<br>The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?<br><br>root@debian:~# fdisk /dev/sda<br>

<br></div>as you can see the device does exist. sda1 is swap for the debian system which is in sda5. sda6 is going to be the LFS system and sda7 is going to be the swap for LFS when I get done.<br><br></div>Please, what did I do wrong or else what is the problem?<br>

<div dir="ltr">well..... I just realized that there must be a reason that the glibc line was commented out in the LFS book so I'm not going to worry about it. regarding your line I did enter it and it returned nothing. then I re-read the the text concerning that and it finally dawned on me..... I want all of them or none of them and if I only had 1 or two of them it is okay to delete the ones that are there. I get there.... even if it does take me a little longer. I wish this wasn't the case but at least I can blame the head injury for the difficulties. I'll start working on it when I get home from work tonight.</div>

Michael, have you even looked at what is in line 32 of your version-check.sh?<br>
Among other things, because 'glibc' is more than a program (it is more like the whole engine running under the hood), and your system would not even boot up is you don't have 'glibc' (which is a whole lot system)<br>
You'll learn that as you read LFS. <br>
Did you ever try:<br>
find /lib/ /*/lib/ -name lib${X}.la<br>

well, I didn't have a problem getting these files with a standard<br>
installation of debian; it was only after I tried with a net install of<br>
debia. So right now I'm downloading a current dvd iso of debian and after<br>
the install I'll see if that helps. <br>

well I installed gmp the way it instructed and then I did a search for<br>
mpfr on the same website and installed it as well, but couldn't find gibc<br>
or mpc. I was going to do a search for the missing files but figured I<br>
would run version-check first to ensure I wasn't just spinning my wheels.<br>
It appears the two files were not installed correctly enough for LInux from<br>
