>From a previous encounter with GCC, I opted to clean the slate and start all over. It has come to my attention that the file lists - wget-list and md5sums - did not quite download all the tarballs (patches were OK). It may just be my net connection (I reside behind the Great Firewall) and this probably needed verification.
$ md5sum -c md5sums autoconf-2.68.tar.bz2: OK automake-1.11.3.tar.xz: OK -+- snip -+- man-db-2.6.1.tar.gz: OK md5sum: man-pages-3.35.tar.gz: No such file or directory man-pages-3.35.tar.gz: FAILED open or read mpc-0.9.tar.gz: OK -+- snip -+- shadow-4.1.5-nscd-1.patch: OK md5sum: WARNING: 1 listed file could not be read I am unable to download man-pages-3.35.tar.gz from http://man7.org/linux/download/man-pages but instead found it at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/man-pages/man-pages-3.35.tar.gz . 89175c683115de1cbe7f420ea61e9466 man-pages-3.35.tar.gz If and when I get to the that point in the book, it is permissible to allow this detour to pass. I am hoping my assumption is correct?
