Then it sounds like you dont have a directory containing the scripts
nessasary to configure and compile a kernel, that directory is
/usr/src/linux/scripts and should contain lxdialog which is turn has the
following files;
BIG.FAT.WARNING colors.h lxdialog.c textbox.c
Makefile dialog.h menubox.c util.c
checklist.c inputbox.c msgbox.c yesno.c
One possable reason for this is that you have not untared the tar archive in
the correct manner or correct place.
If you did the following then all should be ok, first check the archive for
size it should be;
7269221 bytes and is called linux-2.0.36.tar.gz
If you did the following then all should be ok; my example this time has
linux-2.0.36.tar.gz placed in /usr/src
cd /usr/src
rm linux
mkdir linux-2.0.36
ln -s linux-2.0.36 linux
tar xzf linux-2.0.36.tar.gz
ls -al linux/scripts will now produce at least something like;
total 170

Then you "dont" have a whole kernel source installed, or installed properly.
