***After drafting this message I got Bogdan's message: thanks, I will check
to be sure I've got the make utility. But I still think there's something
screwy. Read on.***
I'm running a dual-boot windoze95 and RedHat 6.0 on a P133 notebook from Dell.
I continue to run into setback after setback while attempting to upgrade
from kernel 2.2.5-15 to 2.2.12, and configure in support for my SCSI Zip,
Adaptec controller, and parallel port Syquest SparQ. Initially I ran the
menuconfig, which proved much easier for me.
As best I could, I've documented my actions.
First, I did:
rpm -i cpp-1.1.2-12.i386.rpm
...and then
rpm -i egcs-1.1.2-12.i386.rpm
rpm -i egcs-c++-1.1.2-12.i386.rpm
rpm -i egcs-g77-1.1.2-12.i386.rpm
rpm -i egcs-objc-1.1.2-12.i386.rpm
I was happy to see that egcs-g77 didn't complain 'already installed.' I
guess I needed that one.
I then installed the new source with:
cd /usr/src
gzip -cd linux-2.2.XX.tar.gz | tar xfv -
Then, I did a make mrproper (whether that was a good idea or not, I don't
know.)
BTW, I can't understand why I am not able to make xconfig or menuconfig.
As long as this isn't a symptom of some underlying problem, that's ok with me.
So I did a make config and put the resultant messages below.
Finally, when I tried to make dep, things started getting weird! I'm quite
pissed off. No longer am I confident that I have a grasp of this stuff. I'm
so dejected, I am considering reinstalling Linux from scratch. Any helpful
hints or encouraging remarks would be warmly welcomed! Thanx.

Then, I did 'make config' which seemed to work, all right.
