Guest Imac Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hi, I'm a newbie Mandriva user. I've Mandriva 2007 installed on my machine. I'm trying to compile the kernel source and install it. I've followed the steps specified in the FAQs section for kernel compilation, but I'm facing an error while doing that. I've downloaded linux-kernel-2.6.20 from the www.kernel.org, as a .tar.gz file, and untarred it into /usr/src/ directory and then made a symbolic link as linux to the uncompressed linux-2.6.20 folder. Then did cd to linux folder and therein executed the following commands: make clean && make mrproper (executed fine) make menuconfig(and got the following error) [root@localhost linux]# make menuconfig HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1' : execvp: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [sripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1 make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2 :unsure: I would appreciate any help in this regard Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Imac Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 sorry for the trouble guys, but I've figured it out myself. Actually some of GCC libraries where damaged or missing at the time of installation itself, and hence it was throwing error. Got the fresh installation done and its working fine now.
