dudley Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 hey all, sorry if this has been posted elsewhere - i just installed Red Hat 9, smooth sailing. now i'm trying to compile the new 2.6.3 kernel, but when i type 'make config', i get the following message: HOSTCC scripts/fixdep /bin/sh: line 1: gcc: command not found make[1]: *** [scripts/fixdep] Error 127 make: *** [scripts/fixdep] Error 2 to be sure, beforehand i did 'make clean' and 'make mrproper' - worked fine what's going on? how can i load the new kernel into Red Hat 9?

markwolfe Veteran Posted March 7, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 7, 2004 thanks, but how do i install gcc? The easiest way is probably to install it from your original CDs. It was under the "Developement" package options when you installed RedHat. Then, you probably want to make sure you have a current version by using up2date, or whatever you use to keep your OS current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MG-Cloud Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Another word of advice - you may want to try using make menuconfig instead of make config. Or if you prefer it even more graphical than that, make gconfig (GNOME) or make xconfig (KDE/QT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
