make menuconfig

["Mike Glaser" <jurupari@geocities.com>]

After attending the kernel maintenance meeting today I mustered up 
enough courage to attempt to compile a custom kernel. I have several 
reasons for doing so. One of wich is to try and get sounds to work, 
but that is an entirely different subject.

Anyhow I was going to start out by running 'make menuconfig' but that 
doesn't work of course - nothing much seems to work for me.

I am running RedHat 5.1 with the 2.0.35 kernel now. I downloaded the 
2.2.4 kernel and have it installed in /usr/src/linux-2.2.4 and the 
kernel source rpm that came with RH51 installed at /usr/src/linux-
2.0.35 and the following link has been made: linux -> linux-2.0.35.

When I type 'make menuconfig' from the /usr/src/linux directory, here 
is what I get:

mv: cannot move '.ver' to 'include/linux/version.h': No such file or 
directory
make: *** [include/linux/version.h] Error 1


What can I do to get this running?? I did get X to run on this system 
with the KDE desktop also. I don't see to have make xconfig running 
on this system, nor do I know where to find an rpm to install it 
with. If anyone can help me out with this I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
