Trying to patch and compile, using the instructions at 
www.strongsec.com/freeswan.  <QUOTE>

3.3 Installing FreeS/WAN with X.509 on a fresh kernel
If you are installing the X.509 features simultaneously with 
FreeS/WAN on top of a fresh Linux Kernel, then after having applied 
the patch freeswan.diff as described in section 3.2 you can start the 
normal FreeS/WAN compilation and installation process by typing one 
of the commands

make menugo  # use menuconfig
make xgo     # use xconfig 
make ogo     # use config
make oldgo   # use oldconfig 

</QUOTE>
The command menugo starts the regular make menuconfig kernel 
configuration and build.  Errors out, possibly because the machine 
that I'm compiling on does not have the full kernel source tree on 
it.  Am I reading something wrong?

Pre-Patched binary RPM's available for RH and SUSE.  This is a 
mandrake machine (I know, wrong choice for a server)

Any ideas?
