Upgrading to kernel 2.4

[Henry Gomersall]

I need to upgrade my base system to kernel 2.4 because the drivers for my ethernet card are simply not in kernel 2.2 (and they are in 2.4). I have downloaded gcc and make and installed them (I think). When i run 'make dep' after 'make config', I get the following error: >gcc: installation problem, cannot exec 'cpp' : No such file >or directory. any suggestions anyone? Also when I try and do 'make menuconfig', it says something about not being able to find the Ncurses libraries. I have installed these libraries though (again - i think!). Sorry for the blatant ignorance shown by these questions, but everyone's got to learn somewhere. Thanks
