%general-entities; ]> /tools/lib/libc.so.6 /tools/lib64/libc.so.6 /tools/bin/gcc -v If any of these commands fail, you will have to follow the boot method. To chroot, you will also need a Linux Kernel-2.6.32 or greater (having been compiled with GCC-4.1.2 or greater). The reason for the kernel version requirement is that Glibc is built to generate the library for the smallest version of the Linux kernel expected to be supported. To check your kernel version, run cat /proc/version - if it does not say that you are running a 2.6.32 or later Linux kernel, compiled with GCC 4.1.2 or later, you cannot chroot.
