Erorr compiling kernel 2.6.10 ?

When I try to do #make menuconfig

Code:

root@mx:/usr/src/linux# make menuconfig

I don't have a clue ... how should I fix this ?

Have you the kernel-headers package installed ?

I"ve had that happen before.. that's right you need the headers.. the package'll work.. you can also pluck them out of your kernel source.. (not explaining this now, don't remember.. I'd have to check)

I don't know how ...but the kernel-headers where gone ...anyway I've installed them again ..and now I'm succsesfully compling kernel ..2.6.10

Thanks :)

Yes you could use the kernel header files from the kernel tree with doing something like :

$ export CFLAGS="-I`pwd`/include"
$ make menuconfig

well.. I'll tell anyway..

go to the include section of your kernel source tree..
copy asm-generic asm-[your platform] (probably i386) and linux to /usr/include
and then link /usr/include/asm-[your platform] to /usr/include/asm
"ln -s /usr/include/asm-i386 /usr/include/asm"

that's it..

wow.. we make a great team..
