@aashayshah: I have questions for you:

1) Did the make step actually stop after the errors shown? Or did it continue to run until you got this message: Everything is up to date. Type 'make test' to run test suite.?

2) Do you remove the extracted directory when you try again? I'm asking because of this:
Code:
Makefile out-of-date with respect to ../../lib/Config.pm ../../config.h
 Cleaning current config before rebuilding Makefile...
 make -f Makefile.old clean > /dev/null 2>&1
 ../../miniperl "-I../../lib" "-I../../lib" Makefile.PL "INSTALLDIRS=perl" "INSTALLMAN1DIR=none" "INSTALLMAN3DIR=none" "PERL_CORE=1" "LIBPERL_A=libperl.a"
 Writing Makefile for Archive::Extract
 ==> Your Makefile has been rebuilt. <==
 ==> Please rerun the make command. <==
The only way I can recreate that is by:
- extracting the perl package
- running all the steps (except the install part)
- going to $LFS/sources and extract the perl package again (without removing the perl directory)
- run the steps again.
Now I see these errors you show in your first post.

HATS OFF TO spiky0011 and druuna !!! THANKS ALOT FOR HELPING SO MUCH !!

i extracted it as lfs user and it compiled successfully and now m going ahead to run a test suite...

i hope i dont get error when i chroot the environment and try to install linux kernel headers ...

One question : Will it affect the lfs system if i compile and install perl first and then all other utilities like binutils , glibc , gcc in chapter 2 ( i.e. Temporary tools ) ???

As long as $LFS/sources is owned by lfs and the content of $LFS/sources is readable by user lfs, all is ok.

I personally run a chown lfs:root and chmod 440 on all packages and patches in $LFS/sources (in chapter 4.3 just before the su - lfs step). But I don't think that's actually needed.

I also see a lot of directories still present in $LFS/sources. Except for gcc and binutils that is probably ok (although the LFS team does mention removing them after building). The gcc and binutils dirs do concern me. aashayshah still needs to answer my question about that (post #20).

1 thing As mention by druuna remove all extracted dirs
I notice that there are still 2 dirs that are there

drwxr-xr-x. 11 lfs lfs 4096 Mar 2 23:51 binutils-build << remove
drwxr-xr-x. 30 aashay aashay 4096 Mar 2 23:54 gcc-4.7.1 << remove

the other thing all packages are owned by user aashay aashay

You need to follow the order in which the LFS book builds things!

PS: You still haven't clearly answered my second question, so just to make sure: You need to remove the extracted directory (and the build dir where appropriate) once you finish a package OR when you redo a package!!

About your second question drunna , i tried deleting the the perl folder and again extracting it and compiling Still same errors occured . Bt according to spiky0011 i extracted it as a lfs user from command line and the compilation was successfull !!
