[techtalk] 2.2.16-22 Kernel Compile errors

[jeffrey]

Thanx for your response!
I turned on the SMP rule and selected the 386 family of processors(even
though uname reports 686---selecting 686 didn't seem to work) and it
worked BUT I stopped the compile process(CTL-C) because there were other
rules I wanted to try out.I did a "make xconfig" and
I got the following error message :

            /usr/src/linux/.hdepend:1191: *** missing separator. Stop.
( now I cant even get to the kernel configuration window)

What's happening now?
