Sorry about the typo, I made it when typing the email not entering the command.
I think you may have found something: spencer@spencer-desktop:~$ file /tools /tools: directory And: spencer@spencer-desktop:~$ ls -l / total 100 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-03-25 07:00 bin drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2011-03-30 16:36 boot drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-01-09 19:16 cdrom drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 3880 2011-04-02 06:06 dev drwxr-xr-x 145 root root 12288 2011-04-02 06:12 etc drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2011-03-31 19:29 home lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 2011-03-18 06:46 initrd.img -> boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-28-generic lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 2011-03-02 07:18 initrd.img.old -> boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-27-generic drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 12288 2011-04-01 18:51 lib drwx------ 2 root root 16384 2011-01-09 19:10 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2011-04-02 06:06 media drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2011-04-01 00:06 mnt drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2011-03-29 18:55 opt dr-xr-xr-x 143 root root 0 2011-04-01 23:05 proc drwx------ 20 root root 4096 2011-04-01 06:40 root drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-03-02 06:26 sbin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-05-09 08:54 selinux drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2011-01-24 17:20 srv drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 0 2011-04-01 23:05 sys drwxrwxrwt 12 root root 4096 2011-04-02 06:25 tmp drwxr-xr-x 6 lfs root 4096 2011-03-31 21:22 tools drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 2011-02-21 19:09 usr drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 2010-10-07 09:12 var lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 2011-03-18 06:46 vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-28-generic lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 2011-03-02 07:18 vmlinuz.old -> boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-27-generic I'm not sure if it helps or not but: ls /tools bin i686-lfs-linux-gnu lib share Should the above be in /mnt/lfs/tools and not in /tools?

Sorry for not including this in the first email. ________________________________ To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 1, 2011 10:12 PM Subject: Re: Binutils First Round Hello, First off I would like to say sorry for filling everyone's inbox with this probably fundamental question. I have looked all around for an answer and have failed to find one. Here it goes. I'm pretty sure after compiling the first round of binutils /tools should have something in it. I tried compiling the source twice and both times the build outputed to binutils-build in source. I think the problem is the link between (in my case) /mnt/lfs/tools and /. This is because when I run: pl -sv /mnt/lfs/tools / it returns ln: creating symbolic link `/tools': File exists I'm not sure if this will help but when I run ls -ali in /mnt/lfs/tools it returns: total 8 360449 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-04-01 21:18 . 2 drwxr-xr-x 6 lfs root 4096 2011-04-01 21:18 .. Any help would be appreciated, this is my first time trying to build LFS.
