Try to get rid of both glibc-2.2.5 AND glibc-build then redownload it again.

By the way, you should keep an extra copy for every packages so you don't have to redownload everytime.

but i found that the problem was from the command before the make which is

../glibc-2.2.5/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-add-ons --libexecdir=/usr/bin

it tolds me the following error :

linux:/mnt/lfs/usr/src/glibc-build # ../glibc-2.2.5/configure --prefix=/usr \
> ��--enable-add-ons --libexecdir=/usr/bin
configure: warning: ��--enable-add-ons: invalid host type
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... Invalid configuration `��--enable-add-ons': machine `��--enable-add' not recognized

All right. Here are what you need to do:

1. discard the folder glibc-build

2. replace glibc-2.2.5 with a new copy.

3. copy the file glibc-linuxthreads-tar.bz2 into the folder glibc-2.2.5.

4. open (bzczt *bz2 | tar xv ) that file. You will see two new folders ( linuxthreads and linuxthreads.db ) inside the directory glibc-2.2.5.

5. reinstall glibc-2.2.5.

You should read the book again and again; since everytime you miss something, it will end up in a failure/error.

On a standard US win keyboard, it's just above the Enter key, you have to hold Shift and click it.

And it's called a "pipe".

Cool

The pipe takes the output of the first command and inputs it to the second command.... just so you know.

try bzcat <file.bz2>, and you'll see a bunch of crap go by really quick. That is what is going to the input of tar -xv

A little shorter command is tar -jxvf <file.bz2> , the "j" option does the bzcat stuff for you
