Which chapter/section binutils? If it's either of the two passes in ch.5 then I'd say it's close enough to the start to begin again. If you did both passes in ch.5 with the correct version, and then used the wrong version in ch.6 and have not done anything beyond that 'binutils' stage in ch.6, then you _might_ get away with installing the correct version and then continuing on with (the correct-versions) GMP, MPFR, etc. However, I'd say that it's still close-enough to the start of ch.6 - and therefore still close enough to start of build - that I would start again from scratch: I (fwiw) wouldn't want _any_ messiness with binutils, glibc, gcc, &c; (I did once forget the 'install' stage of ch.6 grep, but went back and did it late-on, and things still all worked ok).. (But, you might want to try just resuming with the correct version, and seeing if it goes OK - if you're interested in such an 'experiment' and are OK if it fails.) hth, akh -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
