That is supposed to run in the top level directory of the kernel sources .
restore the .config file , run
'make xconfig' ,
make xconfig if you are running it under X Windows , i would
prefer though
make menuconfig , it's the same thing but under console

make clean will revert things to the status they were before you made the
changes .
In fact what this paper is describing is how to build the kernel from
source .
I don't understand why do you have to do a make clean . And
i don't see a
make dep
step since you are running a 2.4.* kernel ( the 2.6 kernels have a
slightly different
procedure )
and finally run ' make bzImage'.
Yes this is the step where the kernel get's rebuilded according to
whatever make
menuconfig instructed .
But I'm still getting the same error message.
I suspect that instead of
make clean
You should give a
make dep .
