Hi,

Please give a bit more information:

- Are you trying to install LFS / CLFS and which version (I would assume CLFS)?
- What are you using as base system, if it is not the LFS liveCD does it conform to the Host System Requirements as stated in the book?

It looks like you are using a base that is not correct (based on: These critical programs are missing or too old:gcc).

Hello,

Well that's quite simple: glibc-2.2.5 is nearly 5 years old and gcc-4.0 is quite recent so either downgrade gcc or upgrade glibc to 2.5
