I tried with tcsh here with success. Try the followings steps: 1) Do not compile as root. In general does as little as possible as root. Only the kernel installlation requires root priviliges. 2) Try to run "make -n", that may hint where is goes wrong. 3) Do not locate the kernel src in /usr/src/linux - it will conflict with glibc header files. No matter what a HOWTO say otherwise. 4) Try another shell, for instance bash. Not that the kernel build should rely on bash only, but an approach to get your kernel to compile. Sam
