Chris, Thanks for the reply. I've spent a lot of time in chapters 4 and 5. I'm finding the book (6.6) a little unclear in certain areas which is probably what is throwing me off to some degree.
For example, look at 5.5.1, first box. It says: tar -jxf ../mpfr-2.4.2.tar.bz2 mv -v mpfr-2.4.2 mpfr tar -jxf ../gmp-5.0.0.tar.bz2 mv -v ../gmp-5.0.0 gmp What is the point of reference for "../pkg-name"? If I am in my /mnt/lfs/sources dir, then the ../ takes me up to /mnt/lfs and the source tarball is not there. I haven't found any reference as to where I should be sitting (directory wise...) when I issue the commands.

Page 5.5.1 *DOES* say exactly that: "The GCC documentation recommends building GCC outside of the source directory in a dedicated build directory." Then in the next box: mkdir -v ../gcc-build cd ../gcc-build The line above the first box states that GCC requires GMP and MPFR. Now, if mpfr and gmp are unpacked in /mnt/lfs/sources, GCC has no access to them. The only way I could get GCC to do anything was to move both pkgs into /mnt/lfs/gcc-build/gcc-4.4.3/. But I am concerned about that. > > 2.

I've tried so many different things trying to get this to work that I will go back and rebuild the environment again. I don't believe I have had any permission problems, but I will backtrack just to be sure again. > > 3. You forgot --prefix on that configure command.

Funny thing... during my last attempt (which I used to get the messages for this posting) I did forget the --prefix. > > I don't recognize the particular error you are getting and don't know > whether it's related to any of the above issues, but the fact that you > did miss those is an indicator that you do need to read a bit more > closely.

I'll check the prereqs again and rebuild the environment (again.... :) I've gone back and forth over chapters 4 and 5 so often that I can almost quote them.
