thx but then how do i get md5 to check the packages cause im not being able to get it to work...

In chapter 3.2 there is

Binutils (2.22) - 19,505 KB:

Home page: http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/

Download: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.22.tar.bz2 << download to /mnt/lfs/sources

MD5 sum: ee0f10756c84979622b992a4a61ea3f5 << this is the md5 for binutils run
cd into /mnt/lfs/sources
terminal willoutput the md5 of the file check it with the 1 stated for the package

ahhh ok ok you check it against this list: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...opment/md5sums

but you do it manually right?

No on this page As I download the package, the md5 is there

thx. I've been making some progress on lfs but now im running int to this message when i try adding gcc
when i type make in the end of the whole process i get this:

checking format of `long double' floating point... IEEE extended, little endian
checking for TLS support... yes
checking for gmp.h... no
configure: error: gmp.h can't be found, or is unusable.
make[2]: *** [configure-stage1-mpfr] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/Omoikane/sources/gcc-build'
make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/Omoikane/sources/gcc-build'
make: *** [all] Error 2

the gmp version is the same as in the book but gcc is 4.7.0 and in the book its 4.6.2 can this be the problem?

Hi

Can you post this in a new thread plz

Yes, a new thread with a relevant title. But for now, maybe you made an error untarring those three tarballs (mpfr, gmp, mpc) in the source tree of gcc. Anyway, it sounds like a good explanation for gmp.h not being found.

And of course you should do what you think is best, but I would build GCC-4.6.2 in the current stable book. GCC-4.7.0 is now in those daily snapshot development versions of the book, but later on in BLFS there are a few issues with it as some things there are not exactly ready for it yet. Some of those issues have been fixed with seds. But there may be others. I just finished a new BLFS system and saw those things along the way. I had no issues in the current BLFS book with GCC-4.6.2. Just something to use in the calculation to decide.

P.S.: Well I saw the new thread now. I would delete this post if I could. But I don't see how. Go here for the new thread...
