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
