You probably didn't follow the instructions in section 5.3: 1. Extract the package, in this case gcc. 2. Change to the directory created when the package was extracted. Now follow the instructions: tar -jxf ../mpfr-3.1.0.tar.bz2 mv -v mpfr-3.1.0 mpfr etc You probably missed step 2. > My TAR Version: > > tar (GNU tar) 1.26 That's fine. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
