Yes Alex that's right, that I wanted to build a kernel image. Sorry that I did not mentioned that. I'll have a look into the README.gz file, and thanks for pointing me to that.

make menuconfig and xconfig
Hi. I have tried to run make xconfig and make menuconfig on my debian sarge system. But I'm receiving errors, and have Googled without any luck. If running make menuconfig, I receive this: # make menuconfig /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses collect2: ld returned 1 exit status >> Unable to find the Ncurses libraries. >> >> You must install ncurses-devel in order >> to use 'make menuconfig' make[2]: *** [scripts/lxdialog/ncurses] Error 1 make[1]: *** [menuconfig] Error 2 make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2 I have run apt-get install ncurses-devel, but this is obviously not the right way ? And if running make xconfig: Unable to find the QT installation. Please make sure that the * QT development package is correctly installed and the QTDIR * environment variable is set to the correct location. * make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/.tmp_qtcheck] Error 1 make: *** [xconfig] Error 2 How do I encouter if the QT is right, and placed, and where shall it be placed ?. Are the errors 1 and 2 due to lack of the QT ?. Erik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
make menuconfig and xconfig don't work since 2.4.19
Hi, Since i got kernel sources 2.4.19 and 2.4.20 i'm not able to compile them with make menuconfig make xconfig. Although everything runs fine by using the command line interface. When i issue make menuconfig everything appears to run fine until if reaches Preparing scripts: functions, parsing.. then the script hangs but the CPU jumps to 80% of usage and only comes down when i kill the previous process When i issue a make xconfig i get an error stating ./tkparse: Permission Denied. I'm running woody an the user is root. Is anybody having a similar problem? Were you able to solve it? Thanks in advance for any help. = Jorge Sousa -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
