The obvious question is did you download binutils-2.17? What is the result of ls $LFS/sources/binutils*?

Have you downloaded all of the required packages and put them in that directory (see chapter 3.2)? IIRC, if you're using the live cd it will contain everything you need.

Use the correct command to untar binutils-2.17.tar.bz2

tar -jxvf binutils-2.17.tar.bz2
OR
bunzip2 binutils-2.17.tar.bz2
tar -xvf binutils-2.17.tar

Adjust the path to the directory where the file is located.
You need to become familiar with how to use the commands to find the file.

There's nothing wrong with his tar command as long as his host system tar meets the minimum requirements of LFS.

Did you copy the packages from the LiveCD (lfs-sources directory I think) to $LFS/sources?
