Error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or directory when using "make menuconfig" or "make xconfig"

I'm trying to recompile the kernel but I can't get to the config menu.





After downloading and extracting:





zer0ne:/tmp/linux-2.6.19# make menuconfig


HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep


In file included from /usr/local/include/features.h:346,


from /usr/include/sys/types.h:27,

I'm using Debian Etch and do have linux-kernel-headers and kernel-package. How do I make it work?

The only things I can think of is that file is supposed to be on your system and is missing, the kernel source you got has a problem, or you have something in an environment variable that confuses it. Can't be any more help, sorry.





The Debian website has some very active forums, you might get better help there.
