This probably means that you've either missed the commands that give 'lfs' write access to $LFS/tools and $LFS/sources (section 4.3), or you're trying to extract tarballs or install packages to paths outside of those two directories (see directions at bottom of section 5.3). An observation - doing the chapter 5 build as root isn't going to cause problems if everything else is done exactly right. But it has downsides if you *don't* get everything else exactly right. The limited 'lfs' user can write to just those two directories, and mistyped commands will fail with permission errors. Running as root, the same mistyped command may appear to succeed, but cause problems later - it may also damage the host system, since it has permissions to mess with /bin, /etc... Simon.
