This can be force-generated if you ... config in separate config dir (which is correct for glibc), and then ... do the 'make' in the unpacked-source dir (which is WRONG for glibc). Just follow the book. Be careful, and alert to what you are doing, and it'll go fine for you. Part of "how to fix problems" is being aware of how they are or can be generated, incl by oneself. atb, akh > > > > > > Check that you have done the preceding items in the page properly - incl > > re the various different backslash and quote chars used. > > > > > > And if that doesn't give a solution, then check similarly for any other > > stuff - e.g. re-setup or re-wind to end-chapter-5 - that you have done > > since a day or so back. > > > > > > > From my research into this problem it seems that makeconfig line 42 is > > > supposed to start with a tab.
