I had that same problem (with the CPU's) earlier, because the default kernel in Red Hat 7.1 defaults to PIII, but I have an AMD K62. So when I would attempt to compile, I would get similar errors to this.

So, I just keep telling it to make over and over, and eventually it finishes compiling. AMD K62 is specified on the new kernel, so I didn't know what the problem could be.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

That's the part of the error that tripped me up.

Thanks,
Ryan
