why can i not do a make xconfig?
 

why cant i do "make xconfig" when compiling my kernel, ive redownloaded various tar.bz2 kernel files and have gotten the same error, on this last try i attempted to install from the tar.gz file. i can do make menuconfig but i'd rather figure out the problem. here are the error messages i recieve....

[root@myhost src]# cd linux-2.4.22
[root@myhost linux-2.4.22]# make xconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)

"make: wish: Command not found"

Sounds like a missing, incomplete, or misplaced tcl/tk install, specifically 'wish'. I wouldn't know how to fix that in Arch, but I'd look for something like that.

Yeah, xconfig needs Tcl/Tk before it'll work. I'd imagine fixing it on Arch would be as simple as just using pacman to install tcl and tk:

thanks, it worked.
