Did you also verify the source using the PGP key? How
about making the required links to the linux-2.4.20
dir? ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.20 linux
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.20 linux-2.4

Re: Problem Compiling Linux Kernel 2.4.20

2002-12-17 Thread Yasuo Yamasaki
Hi, Joseph

(1) I can do "make xconfig" 2.4.20 on RedHat Linux 8.0(LANG=C CC=gcc296).

(2) I did some experiment.

slime%  cd /usr/src/v2.4/linux-2.4.20
slime%  ./scripts/tkparse
^M... "CNTL-V + CNTL-M + RET"
-: 1: unknown command
slime%

Are there extra "\r" charactors in your "config.in" file ?

Corrupted kernel tarball then?
Download/unpack/compile again?

It (make xconfig) works fine on the 2.4.18-3 kernel that comes pre-installed
with Redhat 7.3.  It just doesn't work with the kernel I downloaded from
http://www.kernel.org (version 2.4.20).

Did you installed the Tcl and Tk stuff?

By the error message you sent, it looks to me that you do not have
software installed that is needed to run xconfig.  Try

make menuconfig

or

make config

If menuconfig does not work (due to missing software, too), I suggest
installing the required packages so you can use xconfig or menuconfig to
configure you kernel.  Sorry but I don't have a suggestion right now for
what RPM to install for xconfig to work.

Yes, I did "make mrproper" then I did "make xconfig" and got the results you
see.

Do you suggest I re-extract the files from the tar archive and start over?

Yep.  Here's the output from "make xconfig"

[root@localhost linux-2.4.20]# make xconfig

make -C scripts kconfig.tk
