Are you installing glibc or binutils? If you're trying to install glibc, you're in the wrong directory (and you didn't follow the instructions). Also, try reading section 1.5 of the book.

Ahhh sorryy ... Yeah it is Binutils and not Glibc..

So please now tell me it's solution.

I take it you still haven't read section 1.5 of the LFS book. What is the output of the following

Code:

file /tools/bin

well i read section 1.5 again which is a help section but i am unable to get a clue from it

the output of of file /tools/bin is

Code:

/tools/bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, not stripped

I recommend you read it again to see if you can figure out what you forgot to do when you asked for help.

You made a mistake somewhere. /tools/bin should be a directory. You could delete /tools/bin and try to execute make install again to see if it completes. I wouldn't recommend continuing because you don't know what else is borked up. Plus, /tools/bin is some app that should be named something else.
