Perhaps you're missing some requisite library? But anyway, dnsmasq is
provided in both Slackware and Slamd64:

$ locate dnsmasq | grep '\.tgz$'
/home/common/slamd64-10.2b/slackware/n/dnsmasq-2.24-x86_64-1.tgz
/home/common/slamd64-11.0/slackware/n/dnsmasq-2.33-x86_64-1.tgz
/home/common/slackware-10.1/slackware/n/dnsmasq-2.20-i486-1.tgz
/home/common/slackware-10.2/slackware/n/dnsmasq-2.23-i486-1.tgz
/home/common/slackware-11.0/slackware/n/dnsmasq-2.33-i486-1.tgz

... so you could:
1. installpkg it
2. Edit and run Fred's dnsmasq.SlackBuild

I'm running on a 2.6.18.2 kernel with /usr/src/linux pointing to
linux-2.6.15.5 sources. So yes, maybe the 2.6.19 kernel is your
problem. Although I have it on good authority that 2.6.19 is perfect,
and any problems with it are your own %*&^$*! fault. Linus said so. :)
