Subject: awk died during "make menuconfig"

    hi

    when i try to compile the new 2.4.1 kernel.
    and " make menuconfig"
    it build the lxdialog-files and then :

    <preparing scripts : funktions ,parsing AWK died with errorcode 137 giving up>

    in the kernel-menu there are only the options to save or load the configuration available.

    awk is only a script language, isnt it ???
    all software packages are updates to the version-requirements in changes and i download all the makefiles,menuconfigs,defconfig,config.in
    from the cvs-directory in it newest version.

    the machine is a sparcstation lx with suse 7.0. no kernel (2.2.16, 2.2.18, 2.4, 2.4.1) works. in a earlyer posting i heard, that the scripts for sparc are buggy.

    where can i find a sparc-optimized kernelsourcetree or what else can i do???

    thanks
    stefan
