getting mkinitramfs-0.9.11 installed. slackware 13


So yeah, I am trying for my first time to upgrade / recompiling my kernel.

And I need to get mkinitramfs installed. Am trying to follow the instructions on :
http://www.linuxforums.org/articles/...ernel_272.html

and when I am running the configure file in the mkinitramfs folder i get this :

You don't need that. Slackware has 'mkinitrd' for the purpose.
