Do not unpack all of the tarballs at one time. Some of them are rebuilt in Chapter 6 - and you will cause yourself a ton of problems that way. Unpack them as you need them and delete the build directories after you have finished compiling the package. Also, and I just noticed this thanks to my crappy mail client - please don't top post.
