Having a devil of a time building a 2.5 kernel on SuSE 8.0.
Ok, call me crazy, but if you are still reading...

I tried mucking with scripts/kconfig/qconf, which got me nowhere

got me to a wad of compiler errors concerning dialog.h and checklist.c Anyone got good tips on this one? Short of "send patches to Roman"?
TIA.

It would appear that your installation of 8.0 isn't complete. You apparently do not have Qt nor ncurses installed (or setup the way those configure programs want them). Try make config and use the old fashioned kernel configuration. It isn't pretty, but I haven't seen it fail in a long time. I haven't played with the 2.5 kernels, so I am assuming that the old make config is still there. -- Kelly L. Fulks Home Account
