building from source


I was trying to compile gtkam from source. I've done it in the past with slack 9.1 and had no problem. On my new system, I ran into a problem. I wasn't overly concerned with it so I figured i would figure it out some other time.

Now I decided I wanted to update my kernel from 2.6.2-rc3 to 2.6.3. When I try and run make menuconfig i get this error.

bash-2.05b# make menuconfig
HOSTCC scripts/fixdep

make[1]: *** [scripts/fixdep] Error 1
make: *** [scripts/fixdep] Error 2

This didn't happen when I built my 2.6.2-rc3 kernel so I went back and tried that too and i get the same error.

The only major stuff i've taken out of the Default Slack install are anything referencing the 2.4.x kernel and I upgraded to the Gnome in slackware-current.

Any ideas?

If you actually deleted
/usr/include/linux
you may try to do a
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.x/include/linux/ /usr/include/linux


Cheers,
Tink

I figured it out. I had to re-install the kernel headers. I don't understand why I need the 2.4.x headers if I don't use that kernel, but appearently I do. Seems to be working fine now. Thanks for the suggestion.
