Hi Bruce, I'm trying desperately to understand. I did read Sec. 5.3 carefully -- I printed it out and read it prior to doing any builds -- but the subsequent build steps don't seem to line up. The tree that I have is:
/mnt/lfs/sources # (1) contains downloaded tarballs /mnt/lfs/sources/mpfr # (2) after un-tar and rename /mnt/lfs/sources/gmp # (3) after un-tar and rename /mnt/lfs/sources/mpc # (4) after un-tar and rename Is that still wrong? If so, how should it look? Is the patch applied in each of the directories (2) (3) and (4) ? If I take Step 2 of Sec 5.3 literally, then the first 'tar' command of Sec. 5.5.1 doesn't make sense: tar -jxf ../mpfr-3.1.0.tar.bz2 because it implies that the tarball sits in a directory just above where I'm sitting when the command is invoked. /Rafe B.
