at chapter 6 last time i installed gcc with no errors, set time zone everything worked until installing binutils something broke gcc. searching forum i found that gcc is stable until you set time zones. So my qestion is do i need set time zones when installing gcc or i can set it after all is done. thanks for help

Time zones is done in glibc? "6.9.2.2. Adding time zone data"
so not sure what you are doing/talking about

yes with glibc, but is part of gcc so i think problem maybe in gcc. i saw someone post somevere on forum that glibc may broke after seting timezone. for me everything goes 'well' untill binutils at chapter 6, when i search error, i saw problem is in perl. i try reinstall but didnt do as lfs forgot login and something break so i start over.

now im at chapter 5 installing perl and when i try last copy command it say permision denied. last time i run this as sudo and maybe that broke binutils installation. But i dont know how to figurout this. im stack now with this perl permission denied

in no way should you do any building of any tools from chapter five as root that inclides using sudo, if you have permission denied error then you have done somthing wrong, find and fix that error dont just try to override it by using root

i found that hard way but thanks. till now with lfs i found that im missing basics, evrything is in how to make steps its not hard to understud what are you doing its hard to know way to do it. and if one error comes up you need patience and not hurry thats my problem. but till now my expirience on this forum is great people are great helpfull. i do not wont post hall of fames here but im very greatfull. i wont make thant point at start beacouse i know you are bored with noob qestions.and still keep gooing.

first time i use sudo for copyng perl files, second time maybe forgot chown $lfs/sources or something realy dont know what, so third luck. keep the good job people
