Then I used yumdownloader to down load and install the kernel-source. Upto this point everything worked fine. Then I changed directoty to /rpmbuild/SPECS and gave the following command >>rpmbuild -bp --target $(uname -m) kernel-2.6.spec after sometime it gave me the above error I mentioned(errors in scripts/basic/fixdep.c) I also tried to go to /usr/src/kernel/<kernel-ver> directory and then located the .config file. Then I changed the extraversion of the Makefile and try to use >>make xconfig It compiled for sometime and gave me the "EXACT" error like before. Does this mean anything? What should I do now?
