Hello and Welcome to LinuxQuestions,

Can you provide some more information? Like what are you compiling, program, version? On what OS, which Linux distro, version? Hardware architecture, 32bit, 64bit? The more information you provide, the sooner someone will be able to pinpoint the problem and provide you with an answer.

Kind regards,

Eric

<<< just want to run "make menuconfig" or "make config" to check the kernel configuration.
On what OS, which Linux distro, version? Hardware architecture, 32bit, 64bi
<<<<- fedora based, linux kernel 2.6.27. trying to compile on linux server. not sure if linux server is running 32bit or 64 bit. how to check that?

Thanks.

seeing as 2.6.33 is current

if fedora FIRST and the VERY first thing to do is this

Hi,

Which kernel did you download to compile? Did you install the necessary dependencies in order to compile a kernel, like build-essentials, linux-headers, ...? Type in console:
to find out what you're running and post it here. There are other ways to find out what's configured in your kernel and what modules are loaded then compiling it. I don't know about Fedora, but look in your /boot directory if it contains config files. If it does then that file would list what's compiled in your kernel. The command 'lsmod' will show you what kernel modules are loaded.

Kind regards,

Eric
