Dear Juergen, Thanks for the suggestion, I extracted the OSELA.Toolchain-2011.01.1.tar.bz2 in the regular user login /home/local. The toolchains can start to build. But somehow it could not reach to the FTP server and returned with the following error message: --2011-10-20 13:49:29-- ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/glibc/snapshots/glibc-ports-2.13.tar.bz2 (try: 5) => `/home/GeorgeNotebook/local/OSELAS.Toolchain-2011.03.1/src/glibc-ports-2.13.tar.bz2.jwuBPtjTBU' Connecting to sources.redhat.com|209.132.180.131|:21... failed: Connection timed out.
