THANKS

I WANT TO DO ACCORDING TO hippo,I downloads the Nios II Linux Distribution v1.4 ,and build.zip.BECAUSE THE NET DOWLOAD IS SLOW,SO I DOWNLOAD THIS FILES:uClinux-dist-20051110.tar.bz2,busybox-20060320.tar.bz2,uClibc-20060320.tar.bz2 AND buildroot-20060320.tar.bz2

,then I place this files in ~/download instead of WGET commond.

    It looks like that you didn&#39;t select software development package during redhat linux installataion.

    You need to install gcc. Try "gcc -v", if not work, use rpm to install gcc.

    NOTE, you should NOT cd linux-2.6.x in uClinux-dist to build kernel.

    (This is different from the old buildroot guide)

    READ the WIKI, http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating...nux/uclinuxdist (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/%c2%b5clinux/uclinuxdist)

    You should do all the make commands in ~/uClinux-dist-test dir.

    OR, you should backup your data, and reinstall fedora core 5 with software development packages selected during installation.
