I am using Redhat 6.0 with the latest updates. I would like to compile
and use the latest kernel 2.3.10 because it supports more than four
serial ports and has better settings for my soundblaster compatible
sound card.

I uncompressed the tar file. I can use the commands 'make oldconfig' or
'make config'. When I use the command 'make xconfig', it tries to start
then ends with the following error message which then takes me back to
the command prompt in the terminal:
tkparse.c:37:stdio.h No such file or directory.
tkparse.c:38:sdlib.h No such file or directory.
tkparse.c:39:string.h No such file or directory.
make[1]:***[tkparse.0]Error 1
make[1]:Leaving directory /usr/src/linux-2.3.10/linux/scripts'
make:[xconfig]:error 2

Using the 'make config' command will take me through all the questions,
etc. When finish and quit. It is time to do the command 'make dep'. That
is when I get the following error messages:
scripts/mkdep.c:13: ctype.h: No such file or directory
scripts/mkdep.c:14:stdio.h: No such file or directory
scripts/mkdep.c:15:stdlib.h: No such file or directory
scripts/mkdep.c:16:string.h: No such file or directory
scirpts/mkdep.c:17:unist.h: No such file or directory
scripts/mkdep.c:19:sys/font1.h: No such file or directory
scripts/mkdep.c:20:sys/mman.h: No such file or directory
scripts/mkdep.c:21:sys/stat.h: No such file or directory
scripts/mkdep.c:22:sys/types.h: No such file or directory
make dep:***[scripts/mkdep]error 1

Can someone please tell me what I am missing and where I can find it to
be able to compile this kernel.

Thanks,

Virginia
