Hi -

Please try this:

1. "cd" into the directory in question
2. Run
./configure

If that doesn't help, please:
3. Specify exactly what program you're trying to build

4. Cut and paste the exact command you're running, and the
first few lines of the specific error message you're getting

'Hope that helps .. PSM

Looks like a new kernel, since he/she is using "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig".

asankacgl, I don't know how to solve your problem, but why are you using Red Hat 8?? Try something newer, as RH 8 is ancient and you won't get support from Red Hat for it.
