Re: I'm stuck, please help...

Make will execute a makefile which checks the dependencies of the files and
compiles only those files which have been updated since the last build.
By typing "make xconfig" you are telling make to use a file named
xconfig.mak
or a variant thereof. This file provides the rules for the build. So you
proabably
don't have the xconfig.mak file and need to install the package it's in.

Generally in the dos/windows world, you would need a -f before the name of
the
makefile, but I have yet to wrok on anything large enough in linux to
require a makefile.
There are usually several other commands available, for instance -v will
provide a verbose
build. Typing "man make" should give you a basic description of the make
utility
and the commands.

I don't have my linux box here, or I could check that out for you.
