[aclug-L] xconfig crashes

[phrostie <phrostie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

now that i've started building my own kernels, i've run into a odd problem.
i have two machines with almost identical setup, one is a 486/133 with
rh5.2 the other is a 686/300 also with rh5.2.
the 486 will run xconfig, menuconfig, and just plain config.
but on the 686 xconfig and menuconfig crash.

i may not need, to do this agin for a while but i would like to know what the proble is.

here's a cut n paste:

[root@kansas linux]# make xconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.36/scripts'

make[1]: *** [kconfig.tk] Error 139
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.36/scripts'
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2

any ideas?
