[Solved] Linux From Scratch - gnu-versions.h missing

I am using Arch to build a Linux From Scratch on another partition, but I am having problems compiling as not having the file "gnu-versions.h" is causing problems.

I searched the net and the forums and didn't come up with anything useful.

I installed the automake and autoconf along with other listed prerequisites but still no gnu-versions.h.

I am pretty sure it is part of one of the gnu dev files, but i can't find it.

Something led me to think that I may need glibc-dev, but I can't find it in the repos.

Any help would be appreciated.

errr....

[rich@karhide ~]$ pacman -Qo /usr/include/gnu-versions.h
/usr/include/gnu-versions.h is owned by glibc 2.8-3

This is strange.

I did an updatedb and slocate earlier, even physically checked the /usr/include dir as well as issuing a find. Nada.

So, I reinstall glibc, and boom! there it is.

Thanks ghostHack
