These files are supposed to be executable. Are they? In addition, if they are and things still don't work, try adding . to the PATH and retry. If it still does not work, you will have to debug the configure script. It leaves a detailed log of what it was doing (IIRC config.log). So find the exact commands it tried to execute and se why they failed. It's nothing to do with kernel at all and mostly nothing to do with distro. It's just a broken bourne shell script or broken bourne shell setup. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec <bulb@ucw.cz> -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
