These always worked perfectly previously on 2.4.18. I now get it on 2.4.18 and 2.4.19. Now, "make menuconfig" gives a message saying: Menuconfig has encountered a possible error in one of the kernel's configuration files and is unable to continue. Here is the error report: [there is no report] And "make xconfig" fails with the message: .tkparse: Permission denied This happens even as root. To make matters even more puzzling, these problems occur only on my laptop; both work on my desktop. Both machines are running Debian (testing). Any suggestions gratefully received; please reply by email as I am not on the list at present.
