I think the "f" part should only go at the end of the tar command (tar xvjf). That might cause some problems. Other than that, you could try re-downloading the kernel.
Berto,
Thanks. But it didnt work.
I tried "tar xvjf".. gives the same error.
I have tried downloading the kernel from 2 different locations. Will try other locations too. In the meantime if anyone knows how to trouble shoot this. Please let me know.
scc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -02 -fomit-frame-pointer -c -o tkparse.o tkparse.c
make[1]: scc:Command not found
What on the earth is scc? I assume it should be gcc, in that case you do not have a compiler installed. Use the package manager to install it. Can't tell you how to do it in RH, sorry.
Ahh, that's what got me confused. I thought I was out of my league for a moment
You just seem to be missing some development files. Just install gcc, and if you are using "make xconfig", make sure your qt-devel package is installed. If it gives you another error, asking for another program, it's very simple to google the program name and find out what you have to install. When in doubt, also install the "<program name>-devel" package.
