    Kernel Error

    Code:
    # make menuconfig
      HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
    Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/i386/dl-machine.h: 611: elf_machine_rel_relative:
        Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xff) == 8' failed!
    make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1
    make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2
    That's the size of it. I've tried different kernel versions (all 2.6.x) from different servers. I also get the same error with make xconfig, make gconfig, etc.

    It's a Slackware current system. I'd be grateful for any suggestions to fix this

    First run "/sbin/ldconfig". See if there are any errors generated. If that does not work, try "depmod -ae". Also make sure the /usr/src/linux is a link to the proper kernel source.

    Thanks for the reply.

    ldconfig and depmod -ae produce no errors.
    /usr/src/linux has been setup to link to /usr/src/linux-2.6.6 at the moment. (Because it's 2.6.6 that I'm using.)

    Just out of curiousity, have you tried running make *config again (* being x or menu or whatever)? Sometimes running ldconfig fixes stuff like that on its own.

    Yes, several times. No luck though.

    Of course, thank you! Been a while since I've done those checks! ld -v failed with the same error so I removed and installed binutils again, this time it worked and so did make menuconfig. Off to try and compile her now.

    Thanks, solved successfully
