i am attempting to compile madwifi, when i cd to the directory holding the madwifi data, and "make", i get the following errors:

Make: execvp: ./scripts/get_arch_target.sh: Permission denied
Makefile.inc:124 *** Cannot determine kernel architecture, please check /lib/modules/2.4.26/build/.config. Stop.

(i used to get " /bin/sh: line 1: cc: command not found " in addition to those errors, but i fixed that problem with the help of a topic on the forum)

any ideas?
i have these dsl extensions:
-gcc1-with-libs.dsl
-gcc1.dsl
-gtk2-0705.dsl
-linux-kernel-headers.dsl
-kernelsources.dsl
(i did a few forum searches and downloaded whatever was suggested for a compile)

i have been racking my brain on this for quite a while now, any help is appreciated.

It looks like you need to load the default DSL/Knoppix kernel configuration file, .config.

Probably the easiest way to do this is:

Code Sample

# cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.26
# make menuconfig

Then you need to choose the menu item to load an alternate configuration file, enter the path to the .config file, and then save the configuration and exit.

after " make menuconfig " i get " make: *** no rule to make target 'menuconfig'. Stop. "

Hmm...this sounds as though you might need the full kernel sources - before that, you could try to copy .config to /lib/modules/2.4.26/build/ and see if that does the trick.
