Hi Ankur, I think you can go through the FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html However I feel that the instructions in 5.5.1 should be more clear saying that mpfr & gmp should be extracted in gcc's source directory.
Which mistake did you commit?

I had figured it was a small error somewhere.. Is there some documentation which provides _reasons_ as to what we are doing? Or do we learn that as we read on? -- regards, Ankur -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Explore and discover exciting holidays and getaways with Yahoo!
