It would help if you would post more information about your problem.
I too run slackware, and I just (2 weeks ago) upgraded both my kernel and
pppd to the latest stable releases without any problems.
>From my understanding, all recent pppd released are distribution
independent. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)
The place you want to execute the ./configure is at the top level directory
of the distribution. If you ask for a file listing after opening the
tar-ball (heh, 'new' slang term i read on the gnome site), you should see a
file name 'configure' with the execute bit set. Without a more detailed
description of the error, I can't give you much more help.
The documentation (the HOWTO, README, etc) are all irrelevant to compilation
and need not lie in any specific directory, or even be present at all, for
that matter.
To configure the kernel, you will go through the much of the same routine as
for compiling pppd, with the exception that you get to choose what is
actually compiled into your kernel. This is the part where you set things
for ppp up.
Just to be clear, note that there are 2 main seperate things needed to get
ppp working.
1) pppd
2) ppp correctly compiled into your kernel.
Both of these must be properly done, and done correctly.
I'm new to giving ppp help and consider myself an advanced novice. I hope
that what I have told you is accurate, correct, and not a repeat of what you
already knew.

Subject: unable to configure kernel for ppp
I have been trying to configure the kernel for ppp. We have slackware
2.0.35. I looked in the howto docs and it said to type ./configure in the
top level dir where pppd is, which is also supposed to be the dir where
the howto file is. But they aren't in the same dir and ./configure gives
an error message in both the pppd dir and the howto dir.
I had installed the f package thinking that I would be getting docs
specific for our version and dist., but it seems not to be.
Was wondering if there's somewhere that would have docs specific for our
version and dist?
Also, was wondering how to configure the kernel for ppp?
Thanks.
