The $KERNTYPE is expanded by make, which has a different syntax for references of variables with multicharacter names ($(KERNTYPE) or ${KERNTYPE}). In this case though, KERNTYPE is a shell variable, so it should be $$KERNTYPE. Found both in vanilla RHL 8.0 and Phoebe (kernel-2.4.20-2.2) I get this error even though I have a .config file in /usr/src/linux-2.4 and in /usr/src/linux-2.4/configs Eureka - I solved it! make xconfig has a dependency on wish which requires tk to be installed which requires tcl to be installed. Do you want to add a dependency to kernel-sources, that tk and tcl must be installed? I don't know RH procedure, even though this is a low, it should be an easy fix. I bet this is also in the new beta! Here is the error: wish -f scripts/kconfig.tk make: wish: Command not found make: *** [xconfig] Error 127 I installed tcl/tk and it started up. Both 7.3 and 8.0 have that funny ERNEL stuff but it doesn't matter that is NOT the problem. while the dependency issue is most likely a good fix, you can't ignore that that script still has an obvious error with the KERNTYPE/KERNELTYPE inconsistency at the very least. Please delete my erroneous comments #2 and #3 above. My comments were a dup of 68323 Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/ |
