I had the same problem. It is with the chroot command in the upd-instroot command in /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime. I had to modify the the file then rebuild anaconda rpm packages. I added the symbolic links as show below echo "Getting pango modules" if [ -n "$NEEDGR" ]; then if [ -x /usr/bin/runroot -a -n "$COMPONENT" ]; then REALPATH=`(cd $DESTGR; /bin/pwd | sed 's,/md1/,/,g')` runroot $COMPONENT --onlyone --arch $ARCH "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/sbin/chroot $REALPATH /usr/bin/pango-querymodules 2> $REALPATH/etc/pango/pango.modules" else # Modified Section MTW cp -f /usr/bin/pango-querymodules $DESTGR/usr/bin/pango-querymodules pushd $DESTGR/usr/lib # Keep till after gtk2 input method ln -s ../X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 libX11.so.6 ln -s ../X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1 libXrender.so.1 ln -s ../X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 libXext.so.6 ln -s ../X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 libXi.so.6 popd ....... After the gtk2 section I added the following lines. echo "Getting gtk2 input method modules" if [ -f $DESTGR/usr/lib/libX11.so.6 ] ; then rm -f $DESTGR/usr/lib/libX11.so.6 fi if [ -f $DESTGR/usr/lib/libXrender.so.1 ] ; then rm -f $DESTGR/usr/lib/libXrender.so.1 fi if [ -f $DESTGR/usr/lib/libXext.so.6 ] ; then rm -f $DESTGR/usr/lib/libXext.so.6 fi if [ -f $DESTGR/usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 ] ; then rm -f $DESTGR/usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 fi Mark -----Original Message----- From: Matt Howell [mailto:mhowell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 10:20 AM To: anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: no text in gui during rh8 custom install On Tue, 2003-03-11 at 17:53, Andrew Thomson wrote: > been busily making my own custom rh8 cds.. however during the pretty gui > install, i get no text! I currently have the same problem with an RH8 install that I have created but I have been focusing my attention on the comps.xml, as it seems that the first portion of the file contains the internationalization strings. Perhaps I wrongly assumed that some how I toasted the file during my media compilation process. I just started tracking this down but don't remember seeing the "pango" error pop up. What was mysterious to me is that the installation works flawlessly in text mode. -Matt Howell mhowell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
