kernel compile error

[Neil Herring_1]

Cannot build a kernel using /usr/sbin/config. The standard output of
the command is shown below:
sh: /usr/bin/make: Execute permission denied.
config: make did an exit(1)

The command exitted with exitcode -71

The above error is outputted when I am trying to create a new kernel.

I have checked the version of make and get the following output:-
/usr/bin/make:
$Revision: B11.23.0409LR

The server is running 11.11. Is this something I should be worried about as the config version is as follows:

/usr/sbin/config:
$Revision: B.11.11_LR
Fri Oct 27 00:44:53 PDT 2000 $

Any thoughts, gratefully received.

I have rebooted the machine as a last ditch effort!

Aha!

A useful error message from Unix.

There appears to be a variance between what I have and what you have for make.

/usr/sbin/config:
$Revision: B.11.11_LR

Sun Nov 13 17:01:07 2005:root@eilat.itj.net /root/


Have we perhaps forced a patch where it doesn't belong?

Have you checked your permission of make ?
# ll /usr/bin/make .. Try to apply latest patches from ITRC patch database http://www2.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do

(Are you getting this error when you did via sam? )

Patching. That'll probably be it. I did install the GOLDBASE11i patches as recommended by the ITRC patch assessment web page only a couple of months ago. Having run the assessment again, it would seem that there are a load more patches that now need to be installed since then.

[Neil Herring_1]

Patching, probably.
