Description André Terpstra 2004-01-09 04:25:40 UTC

While installing the latest 2.4 kernel (linux-2.4.22-gentoo-r4) "make menuconfig" refuses to finish. The error occurs when entering the submenu "networking options". "Make xconfig" seems to do OK. Error report:

 Q> scripts/Menuconfig: line 832: MCmenu19: command not found

This problem can easily be solved:

File net/ipsec/Config.in: 

line 34: Remove the leading comment mark

--------
This fix also removes the issue: "No ipsec- modular algs visible using make xconfig"

Comment 2 Sandro Littke 2004-01-09 05:14:09 UTC

And im getting closer to the problem:

1. you cannot compile 1DES *and* 3DES as modular alg into kernel at the same time

2. so there is an issue in net/ipsec/alg/Config.alg_1des.in with "dep_tristate" (to be seen where you use make xconfig on my <networking enabled> version, make menuconfig gets that error too but ignores it).
Does anyone know how to write that Config.alg_1des.in to "disable 1DES if 3DES is set" ?

The quick-fix: Disable 1DES at all in file net/ipsec/alg/Config.in, line 13:

Comment this line out and everything should work fine now.
