I have been trying endlessly to figure out why I can't compile from a chroot environment. I even configured that same partition to be bootable as a separate operating system on my office machine. There are no problems with booting that partition in a chroot or actual machine boot. Yet very time I try to build arts I see the following configure error message: ldd: ./conftest.out: No such file or directory The build always fails. I never see that error message in my virtual machine. My /etc/ld.so.conf is the same as in my virtual machine. Anybody have any ideas what causes this error? I find nothing conclusive or helpful on the web. Darrell
