LFS System Installation

Hi everybody!

I just started installing a LFS.... some problems appeard...

First of all a brief info about my knowledge:
Im swiss so english is not my mother tongue -> please excuse bad formulations!
I have based knowledge of C, Java and Assembler.
I am intrested in linux so i tried to create my own lfs.
Linux from the Scratch 6.4 / Linux on VM
After creating an empty partition i defined the datasystem ext3 and set the mountpoint. Creating a link like /mnt/lfs on $LFS was no problem. Also creating an user worked fine (username = lfs).

At this point the confusion started. Do i have to copy the binutils packege to the new ext3 partition and install it there by using th user lfs. I guess so, so i tried it. It worked.

Next i copied the gmp and the mpfr, unpacked into the folder source on the ext3. Then i tried to compile the gcc package on the ext3 using the user lfs.... -> error

gmp and mpfr are needed, but i cant install them.

At which point of my progress did i make the mistake or am i completly wrong?

For the case that this is a perfectly dum question i am sorry for asking!

Thx for your feedback!
