There's a bug reported on the Gentoo kernel, which I also experienced, which causes 'make gconfig' to segfault in recent kernels (e.g. 2.6.11). See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98410
It appears, from the discussion, that the problem affects the kernel sources in other distributions, apparently including stock kernels from kernel.org. A patch for the problem by Joachim Nilsson has appeared on the debian kernel list which addresses the problem. See http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2005/01/msg00171.html This fixes the problem for me, perhaps not ideally (I'm not a kernel or gtk programmer), but I recommend that the issue, and the patch, be moved upstream for consideration of a possible fix in future versions of the Linux kernel. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Fighting against human | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | creativity is like | available at 512-259-1190 | trying to eradicate | <http://pubkeys.fmp.com> http://www.fmp.com | dandelions" | | (Pamela Jones) | ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
