[oclug] /usr/src/linux/?

[Ahmed Masud]

I think your /usr/src/linux is corrupted (perhaps a misapplied patch?).  
I suggest that you blow it away avec:

	rm -rf /usr/src/linux /usr/src/linux-2.2.17 

reget the tarball (suggest getting linux-2.2.18 or later):

 lynx -source ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/2.2/linux-2.2.18.tar.gz | \
	(cd /usr/src; tar -xvzf -)

and try again:

	cd /usr/src; su - make menuconfig


Good luck

Ahmed
