I'm running Slackware 96 (2.0.20), I want to use the "old" method to
configure to configure sound into my kernel, but I seem to be only using
the "new" method. I read that I can select the old method using "make
menuconfig". When I run menuconfig I get this:

bash# make menuconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts/lxdialog all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.20/scripts/lxdialog'
gcc -O2 -Wall -fomit-frame-pointer -DLOCALE -DCURSES_LOC="<curses.h>"
-c lxdialog.c -o lxdialog.o
In file included from lxdialog.c:22:
dialog.h:109: parse error before `use_colors'
dialog.h:109: warning: data definition has no type or storage class

make[1]: *** [lxdialog.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.20/scripts/lxdialog'

Can you help with this error?

Thanks,
