I seem to be getting this error during my make install of glibc-2.3.3 during the chapter 5 pass

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: rtld.c: 1221: dl_main: Assertion `pt_load_num || (void *) ph->p_vaddr == _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso' failed!
make[2]: *** [/tools/share/zoneinfo/Africa/Algiers] Error 127

make[1]: *** [timezone/subdir_install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/glibc-2.3.3-lfs-5.1'
make: *** [install] Error 2

I don't know if this is a big deal or not since it seems its fouling on the timezones only, but I want to make sure I'm not screwed before continuing on.

Start again, take care to set up the environment properly and follow the book exactly.

Well I followed the book -- exactly. Is that why this error is occurring? Because I failed to follow the book exactly? Because I did not take care to set up the environment properly? Where could I have gone wrong? Could it have been in the part where I was told to create directories as no particular user and then to create a new lfs user and oh, I guess I had to change the permissions, but the book didn't say to do that, should I have not done that and then posted errors about permissions not being available to the lfs user?

In other words, following the book <b>exactly</b> doesn't seem to be the healthiest way to go about this project. So really, I'm not cutting down your support because I am happy you responded, but I am not exactly satisfied with the answer "Format and RTFM, nub"

Cheers

PS Sorry for being so belligerent

That's alright, you say what you feel. I just said start again because you've only just started, most of the work you've done so far has been reading. When you say "told to create directories as no particular user" is that /mnt/lfs/sources and /mnt/lfs/tools? Usually only root has write permissions there so those folders have to be made by root. Then you create the user lfs - that bit is important, do it like the book says. If you change the permissions so the user lfs owns the folder /mnt/lfs/sources and /mnt/lfs/tools and then do your building as the user lfs inside the sources folder it'll all go fine. Untar the packages in /mnt/lfs/sources, cd into whatever you've just untarred then issue the commands the book says.
