kernel compile issue

drisay · 10-17-2004, 08:29 AM

Code:

scripts/kconfig/qconf arch/i386/Kconfig
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

qconf: cannot connect to X server :0.0
make[1]: *** [xconfig] Error 1
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2

I'm trying to compile a new kernel 2.6.7 from 2.4.26. I get the above error when I try to run make xconfig. So far all I've done is extracted the tar file under /usr/src and created a symbolic link to the linux directory. Also I am compiling from a console windows in kde. Not sure if I need to exit X before running this stuff.

Thanks in advance.

As the user that owns the X display - run:
xhost +localhost

This will allow connections to the server by other users.

You could always just use the terminal version "make menuconfig".
