After trying countless combinations....I found that it is not my machine specific problem, as I was finally (whew...!) able to compile (following your instructions....thank you very much :-)) and that version is 2.6.23-rc5 stable. After the successful steps, I used the same steps for the linus git tree, and it failed. So ok, in the same machine, i have at least one success. Let me continue further now....thanks!!! -- Regards, Peter Teoh ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
