Problem running make xconfig
 

Hi.

I'm a relative newbie to linux, but it's only today I got my broadband connected so it's the first time my new Suse 9 has been on the web.. I thought I would try and follow the topic on getting 3D acceleration working for my 9600XT card..
However, I've hit a problem in the kernel stage, which I can't see in my initial search.
When I type

$ make xconfig

I get the following error.

rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk

make: *** [xconfig] Error 1


Can anyone help me find a solution for this?
Many thanks in advance

can you do a..........

make menuconfig

???

Yep.. That works...

Is there an icon for realising you should have thought of something first??

Thanks
;)
