Starting again!

[rloc]

I have recently had the really fun experience of a hard drive crash and I had to start from scratch with everything.

I loaded off a Mandrake 7.0 CD and everything went well. The kernel version off the CD id 2.2.14-15mdk.

Prior to the crash I had kernel 2.4.2 running and I would like to return to this version.

In order to compile 2.4.2 I need various versions of "stuff" including 'e2fsprogs version 1.19'.

I have e2fsprogs-1.19.tar.gz.

I did: tar -xvzf e2fsprogs-1.19.tar.gz

Then I did ./ configure ( which completed OK)

Then I did: make

After several pages of 'stuff' I got:

parse.c: in function 'ss_parse'

'errno' undeclared )first use in this function)

make [2]: *** [parse.o] error
make [2]:leaving directory 'usr/src/linux/e2fsprogs-1.19/libs/ss
make [1]:[all_libs_recursive] error 1
make [1]: error 2

I have installed all other program revisions required for kernel 2.4.2 without any problem but I do not understand this error.

any assistance would be appreciated

Thanks
