It's been my experience that some of the later 2.4 kernels didn't support xconfig, at least on Gentoo, and I got the same error. I never figured out why, and never pursued it, as I've gone to 2.6 kernels anyway. I did compile a bunch of 2.4 kernels on Mandrake, but IIRC, I always used xconfig with them. Also, xconfig requires qt to be installed, and if you have kde installed, qt is too. Robert Crawford -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
