Hello.

I wonder if anyone can help with this?

I've installed slack 9.1, update to current (xorg, kde 3.2.2, gnome 2.6.1, etc).
I am trying to compile a new kernel, which i have done on the same PC in the past.
intially i didn't have make installed, so I installed that using swaret (current in swaret.conf). I also installed gcc using swaret.

I got loads of error messages, so i went back to make and gcc from the slack 9.1 disk. however, i am still getting this error when i run make menuconfig (or xconfig etc):

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

Can anyone shed any light on this for me? I'm a bit stuck!

I can't tell you WHY they're missing, guess I'd either blame
swaret or current ;)

Guess bleeding edge doesn't come without pain.


Cheers,
Tink
