Guys,

I hope everyone is well.

Concerning the subject:

I unpacked GCC-4.8.2 as user lfs and cd to the created directory.Then ran
the command concerning mpfr and got the following error:

tar -Jxf ../mpfr-3.1.2.tar.xz
tar (child): ../mpfr-3.1.2.tar.xz: Cannot open: Permission denied
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Looking in GCC-4.8.2 using ls, I could not see mpfr, although I could see
mpc and gmp.  So I deleted GCC directory and unpacked it again as lfs
user.  This time it did not create mpfr or mpc, but only gmp.  Have I got a
broken download of GCC?  Do I need to delete the GCC tarball and redownload
it?  Or is there another problem?

Sounds like permissions.

$ ls -ld $LFS/sources

If everything is not owned by user lfs, run

$ sudo chmod -R lfs.lfs $LFS/sources
