I might also note that the 2nd link you provided does in fact give the
right solution - you are expected to cd into the unpacked package's
soruce directory, *then* type the commands on the package's installation
page. This is what the "Important" note at the bottom of page 5.3 says
to do. Chowning $LFS is not needed if you have followed the book's
instructions.
Sorry about that. I was jumping to conclusion.
Since BinUtils is the first package to be build, there should be some
additional info on directories of $LFS/sources, like:
binutils-2.24
binutils-build
or some notes that say:
If you encounter error "Permission denied", be sure that you are
inside binutils-2.24 directory.
This is just a suggestion to help newbies like me.
Please explain how the instructions on page 5.3 are not clear enough,
particularly:
"For each package:
Using the tar program, extract the package to be built. In Chapter
5, ensure you are the lfs user when extracting the package.
Change to the directory created when the package was extracted.
Follow the book's instructions for building the package."
Also, note that LFS is not meant for Linux newbies.
