Error during make dep
Hi all
I was trying to recompile the kernel , did a make dep(make -k -s -w dep)
and got the following errors:
make: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.19pre17'

There are 2 errors, both with .depend files. One is in
usr/src/linux/kernel and the other in usr/src/linux/drivers/char/drm.
The one in usr/src/linux/kernel has a path /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm.
The drm directory in drivers/char is for Direct Rendering support for
XFree86 4.x(found this info from the Makefile and Readme file in that
directory). The README file in that dir says that it is the
kernel-level-driver for Direct Rendering Infrstructure for Xfree86.
I am not able to figure what the problem is but I could compile the kernel
before I did the following:
I tried to upgrade XFree86 from 3.3.5 to 4.2.0. I used the method
described on XFree86.org. I copied the file into a CD , then into /root,
and used a installation script that was provided.
Could anyone please help.
I have tried to do the following: I reinstalled XFree86 3.3.5 again. But
hasnt worked.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
