Dear Sir,
Kindly investigate the following challenge. I am trying to setup 2 linux boxes as a ppp server and client respectively. I am using Redhat linux release 6 and kernel 2.2.5-15 on a Compaq Deskpro (pentium). I am encountering problems compiling and building the kernel for pppd support.
First I issued the following command to load pppd:
mnt/cdrom/RedHat# rpm -ivh RPMS/ppp-2*rpm
The following message was displayed:
error: package ppp-2.3.7-2 is already installed.
Then I tried to compile the kernel by issuing the following command:
usr/doc/ppp-2.3-7# ./configure
However, the following message was displayed:
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory.
In addition, I issued the following commands from the same top-level directory:
 
usr/doc/ppp-2.3-7# make xconfig 
usr/doc/ppp-2.3-7# make menuconfig 
usr/doc/ppp-2.3-7# make config 
 
Each of the commands failed with similar error messages like:
make:*** No rule to make target `xconfig'. Stop.
 
Kindly tell me what to do next in order to compile and build my kernel for pppd support.
 
Thanks in anticipation for your response.
 
Yours faithfully,
 
Chuks
