Can you be more specific on the error message?

One problem that I have quite often with "make xconfig", is I 
start XWindows with my normal user, and then "su -" to root, and
then "make xconfig" aborts if I forget to set the DISPLAY.
If you are doing the same thing, run the command:

   export DISPLAY=:0

before you do the "make xconfig".
