There are some dependancies that should be met, and either method above will help greatly in that aspect. B) in order to use 'make menuconfig' you need ncurses-devel, as it needs some ncurses header files to make the menu. Once again, use 'up2date' or 'redhat-config-packages' -- Jesse Keating j2Solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?
