[Buildroot] Following direction, but failing to compile

[Neil Cherry <ncherry@linuxha.com>]

I've been having a few problems getting BuildRoot to work. So I
decided to fall back, read and follow the directions. But this
too has failed.

What I've done is:

tar jxvf buildroot-2009.05.tar.bz2
cd buildroot-2009.05
make menuconfig
make

When I'm compiling all goes well until I hit this:

	:
  DEPMOD  2.6.29.4-test
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/njc/stuff/buildroot-2009.05/project_build_i586/LORHA/linux-2.6.29.4'

make: ***
[/home/njc/stuff/buildroot-2009.05/project_build_i586/LORHA/root/lib/modules/2.6.29.4/modules.dep]
Error 1

I'm having trouble finding where the sequence of commands are
executed so I can figure out why the directory is not being created.

I can go into the linux-2.6.29.4 directory and manually compile
the kernel with no errors.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks
