I am stumped. As of today I have a fresh install of 3.1-Release. I have a flub up and did not know how to fix my system, so I had to reinstall. (Hey, I did have backups of all my important files.) Anyway, I have fresh install, but I can't seem to compile a new kernel. Heck, I can't even compile GENERIC. I do the /usr/sbin/config, which goes fine... but when I go to the compile directory and say "make depend" I get this: perl5 ../../kern/makedevops.pl -c ../../kern/device_if.m re.pm did not return a true value at /usr/libdata/perl/5.00502/File/Basename.pm line 127. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/libdata/perl/5.00502/File/Basename.pm line 127." BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ../../kern/makedevops.pl line 50. *** Error code 2 Stop. No matter what I try to compile, I get the same error. I have looked at the lines mentioned above, but did not find those lines of Perl code to be very enlightening. (I am only just learning perl code now.) Can anybody give me a clue? ---------------------------------------- Marius mbking0@vm.sc.edu University of South Carolina, Columbia "We will get along fine once you realize that I am almost always wrong."
