sorted the prob with menuconfig, it was the gcc (should have know) after chasing up several dependent packages, however no joy with xconfig, but no worries..at least one works i am happy, thanks Jeff
just out of interest here is the output for xconfig
# make xconfig rm -f include/asm ( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm) make -C scripts kconfig.tk make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/scripts' cat header.tk >> ./kconfig.tk ./tkparse < ../arch/i386/config.in >> kconfig.tk echo "set defaults \"arch/i386/defconfig\"" >> kconfig.tk echo "set ARCH \"i386\"" >> kconfig.tk cat tail.tk >> kconfig.tk chmod 755 kconfig.tk make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/scripts' wish -f scripts/kconfig.tk make: wish: Command not found
^^^^
The package your missing now is called "tk", which contains the "wish" binary.
tk-8.3.3-74 on my Red Hat 8 system, you chould find it on the CDs where you found your gcc. There are almost certainly some dependencies including tcl and some other bits.
