I upgraded (uninstalled and then installed) glibc and KDE packages
from Slackware-Current.

May that be the problem and can this be repaired?

What is the proper course of action to update and verify dependencies.

Slackware 10.0/Linux 2.6.10/Gateway SOLO 5300

Thanks for any help!

I had some problems with menuconfig time to time..
Dont know why:-(
When some thing like that happens I used xconfig.
Use make xconfig or gconfig with in gui.
