Has anyone ever has a problem like this. This is a fresh kernel. I can enter the command 'make mrproper' without any problems on a fresh kernel 2.4,
added the 2.4.1 patch - No problems
added the 2.4.2 patch - No Problems
added the 2.4.3 patch and I get the following output
(NOTE: I started from scratch several times in order to track it down to when I add the 2.4.3 patch. I also tried redownlaoding the 2.4.3 patch but it didn't help any.
pwd is the *nix command to tell what the current directory is.
pwd = print working directory
make is calling pwd to determine where it's compiling from, and therefore, where (relative to itself) it should look for or install libraries, files, ect.
/bin/pwd should be where the file is; i've never seen a distro that had it anywhere else. if it's not there, find out where it is and make a link to it. 'ls -r pwd' should find it, if nothing else works.
I looked into this a little deeper and I think I have come accross a serious problem. I have quite a few files that are missing. (300-400). I think it might be a harddisk failure. I just installed Redhat 7.0 three weeks ago, applied all updates, installed KDE2.1 and browsed the internet.
Sorry to bug you guys, this is a problem that has nothing to do with the kernel, it is something else alltogether that in my opinion can only be fixed with a reinstall.
BTW the pwd command was not to be found anywhere even when using the find command, but when I enter
pwd
I get...
/root/linux
seems like it is working okay but 'pwd' binary is gone.
