Compiling a RedHat Linux Kernel

Errors

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.2.15/linux/
include -E -traditional -DSVGA_MODE=NORMAL_VGA
bootsect.S -o bootsect.s
as86 -0 -a -o bootsect.o bootsect.s
make[1]:as86: command not found.
make[1]: ***[bootsect.o] error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.2.15/
linux/arch/i386/boot'
make: ***[zImage] error 2.'

This is a sample error message.  In this case, as86 was not installed on the system.  We rectified the problem by installing the package that contained the missing file.
