I have attempted to edit the configuration of the new kernel but keep getting the following errors

Code:

The Code starts with my updateing my system. I am on testing currently.

Any and all help will be greatly apreaciated.

Looks like you need to install libc6-dev and have you heard of the apt-file package it allows you you to search for these missing files in packages that you have not installed. It is like apt-get in that you use apt-file update to update its database then use apt-file search missing_file to find the package you need.

Code:

While you are at it you may want to install the build-essential meta package as well. It will install a few things you will probably need/want to have.

Edit: While I am at it I notice you are root when compiling the kernel you should install fakeroot and use that as normal user to compile your kernel (fakeroot make-kpkg kernel_image .....). For this to work you should adduser username src so you are a member of the src group then logout and back in for the change to take effect.
