How old is your linux distribution that you're trying this on?  I found
that the 2.6 kernel versions of xconfig and gconfig had dependencies
that were now impossible to satisfy, under RH7.2 (I guess that's about
2 years old).  I would have had to manually build large sections of the
distribution (since there were no .rpm files for them).

In the end I decided that 7.2 was too old, and that I'd have a play
with switching over to gentoo (compared with upgrading from 7.2 to 9.0,
and then having to suffer exactly the same pain in a couple of years
time).

Gentoo is certainly not for beginners, but I'm hoping the time spent up
front will pay off in time savings in the long term.
