If I can squeeze a message between the discussions on security (:-)) I
have been trying to compile a kernel on an x86_64 box under CentOS4.1 and
now 4.2.
The problem is that neither make xconfig or make gconfig work:
make gconfig
*
* Unable to find the GTK+ installation. Please make sure that
* the GTK+ 2.0 development package is correctly installed...
* You need gtk+-2.0, glib-2.0 and libglade-2.0.
*
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/.tmp_gtkcheck] Error 1
make: *** [gconfig] Error 2
and a similar message for xconfig:
make xconfig
HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/qconf
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/qconf] Error 1
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2
Yet I have the following libraries installed:
compat-glibc.i386 1:2.3.2-95.30 installed
compat-glibc.x86_64 1:2.3.2-95.30 installed

Since menuconfig is totally unusable, I am quite stuck. I have regularly
compiled on an x86 box with virtually identical installation and I have
compared the libraries but can't see what I have missed.
The kernel version is 2.6.14.3 which is the latest stable but this happens
with older kernels. There have been suggestions of various patches to a
makefile which I have tried but to no avail. So I think it may be a
library issue.
So can anyone with an x86_64 box on which they have successfully compiled
a kernel post me their output from:
yum list | egrep gtk\|glibc\|glade | grep installed
... or even the complete yum list (privately to save bandwidth!)
TIA
