Hi Luggers,
It all started after I started to upgrade my kernel from 2.2 to 2.4.2 as philip suggested, i untarred the 2.4.1 kernel but was unable to add the patch. While applying the 2.4.2 patch, it gave me an error :
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line unexpected end of line in patch.
I continued to make menuconfig. and got the following error:
rm -f include/asm ( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm) make -C scripts/lxdialog all make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.1/scripts/lxdialog'
Unable to find the Ncurses libraries.
You must have Ncurses installed in order to use 'make menuconfig'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.1/scripts/lxdialog'
i already have it installed. i.e ncurses3-1.9.9e-11.i386.rpm and ncurses-5.0-11.i386.rpm
Then i downloaded gcc-2.96-54 which gave me an rpm error saying major numbers <=3 are supported. So i am upgrading rpm to 4.0.1-0.6x and it is giving me an error failed dependencies libdb-3.1.so is meeded.
Am i going in circles. Is there a simpler way. Please advise.
Noel
