LinuxQuestions.org - can't '$make xconfig' anymore

i seem to have done something bad to my Slack-11 dell laptop. :D

In the interest of full disclosure it bears mentioning I have been screwing with (up) ATI drivers and direct rendering etc.. upon realizing my card was supported by Xorg's drivers I have since removed the proprietary ATI drivers (by running sh ./ati-uninstall.sh -> something like that anyway). I have also been compiling lots of kernels to try and get the DRI working.

but thats a different problem, now I am getting this error when I try and make xconfig:

Code:

perry@slkwr:~/src/linux-2.6.19.1$ make xconfig

  CHECK  qt

sed < scripts/kconfig/lkc_proto.h > scripts/kconfig/lkc_defs.h 's/P(\([^,]*\),.*/#define \1 (\*\1_p)/'

  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/kconfig_load.o

/usr/lib/qt/bin/moc -i scripts/kconfig/qconf.h -o scripts/kconfig/qconf.moc

  HOSTCXX scripts/kconfig/qconf.o

  HOSTLD  scripts/kconfig/qconf

make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/qconf] Error 1

make: *** [xconfig] Error 2

perry@slkwr:~/src/linux-2.6.19.1$

it seems that '$make menuconfig' is still working though, and '$make oldconfig' does not appear to have any errors, but I lose the top of it in the console. I am now worried/wondering whats going on here - and of course how i can fix it.

I am working with kernel 2.6.19.1, and have several working versions. this is the first time I've come across this error. My machine otherwise seems to be working ok, x is running (sans DRI)

I also have a backup source directory, and I get the same error from there.

-Does the ATI uninstaller shell do something bad to Slackware?

-Is there something else I need to fix after uninstalling the ATI drivers?

Let me know if any more info could be helpful. many thanks!
