<title>Installation of Bash</title>
<para>Before you attempt to install Bash, you have to check to make sure
your distribution has the <filename>/usr/lib/libcurses.a</filename> and
<filename>/usr/lib/libncurses.a</filename> files. If your host
distribution is an LFS system, all files will be present if you followed
the instructions of the book version you read exactly.</para>
<para>If both of the files are missing, you have to install the Ncurses
development package. This package is often called something like
<emphasis>ncurses-dev</emphasis>. If this package is already installed,
or you just installed it, check for the two files again. Often the
<filename>libcurses.a</filename> file is (still) missing. If so, then
create <filename>libcurses.a</filename> as a symlink by running the
following commands as user root:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>ln -s libncurses.a /usr/lib/libcurses.a</userinput></screen></para>
<para>Now we can continue. Install Bash by running the following
commands:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>./configure --enable-static-link \
--prefix=$LFS/static --with-curses &&
make &&
make install</userinput></screen></para>
<para>If the <userinput>make install</userinput> phase ends with something
along the lines of this:</para>
<blockquote><screen>install-info: unknown option `--dir-file=/mnt/lfs/usr/info/dir'
usage: install-info [--version] [--help] [--debug] [--maxwidth=nnn]
[--section regexp title] [--infodir=xxx] [--align=nnn]
[--calign=nnn] [--quiet] [--menuentry=xxx]
[--info-dir=xxx]
[--keep-old] [--description=xxx] [--test]
[--remove] [--] filename
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/usr/src/bash-&bash-version;/doc'
make: [install] Error 2 (ignored)</screen></blockquote>
<para>then that means that you are probably using Debian, and that you have an
old version of the texinfo package. This error is not severe by any means: the
info pages will be installed when we recompile bash dynamically in
chapter 6, so you can ignore it.</para>
