Problem with kernel config

[sirmoreno]

Hi
I compiled the kernel with Magic System Request options the kernel work's but it gets stuck sometimes, it happened a couple of times i have no idea why?
Anyway i'm trying to compile it again but can't even get the config running
I tryed:
- copy the old confilg to .config
- make oldconfig
- make config
- make xconfig
but every time i get:
root@ubuntu:/usr/src/linux3# make oldconfig
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep

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

I tryed opening the source code to a new folder but i get the same error
and make mrproper make clean didn't help either
Does someone know why the system gets stuck after i compiled it ??
and why can't I config a new kernel ??
thanks

Hmmmm,

try to install the libc6-dev package.
Does this help?

I don't know if it helped him, but it certainly helped me ...
(is about 7 years ago since I compiled a linux kernel from source)

an old BSD addict thanks you.
