what directory are you in?
you need to make sure that you are in the directory of the kernel that you are compiling
make sure that the sym link of /usr/src/linux is pointing to that directory if that is the directory that you are in
what kernel are you compiling? if it is a 2.6 kernel than there is no longer a need to do make dep.

Make sure what sym link is pointing where? I'm getting the same error even when located in the correct directory. Thanks for any help.

You want it to point to the kernel you intend on using.
make sure that there is a listing for "linux" and that it is pointing "->" to the directory that has the kernel you desire "/usr/src/linux-2.6.0"
look for a symlink like this one in the listing
| Code: |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Dec 23 20:38 linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-gentoo
|
e.g. here is my listing
| Code: | brian@big_squirt src $ ls -l
total 148
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25874 Nov 27 16:49 config.2.6.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27746 Aug 5 00:50 kernel-2.4.20.works
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25377 Aug 4 07:04 kernel.2.4.20
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27815 Aug 4 09:34 kernel.2.4.20.b
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27275 Aug 4 01:02 kernel.config
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Dec 23 20:38 linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-gentoo
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 624 Dec 23 19:29 linux-2.4.22-gentoo-r2
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 544 Dec 29 22:12 linux-2.4.22_pre2-gss
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 680 Dec 8 04:07 linux-2.4.23_pre8-gss
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 1216 Dec 26 16:02 linux-2.6.0-gentoo
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 632 Dec 23 19:45 linux-2.6.0-mm1
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 1056 Dec 29 22:06 linux-2.6.0-test10-mm1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Nov 26 22:27 linux-beta -> linux-2.6.0-test10-mm1
|
Remember if you are compiling a 2.6.0 kernel you no longer need the command "make dep"
P.S. ignore some of the files in the listing, I still have some mere cleanup to do.

Got it, thank you (not on 2.6 yet; need to drink a few beers to get up my courage).
