But you also need package bin86. This is used to assembler the boot sector code, IIRC. Make sure you got that installed, otherwise kernel compilation will fail again at a later stage. -- Sign the EU petition against SPAM: L I N U X .~. http://www.politik-digital.de/spam/The Choice /V\ of a GNU /( )\ Generation ^^-^^
Re: Compiling Kernel with debian
I think if they put libncurses5-dev and bzip2 (and any other missing package) as suggested dependencies for kernel-source then it would save a lot of non-gurus some time.

Compiling Kernel with debian
Hi, I've just installed my first debian disrtibution (Potato 2.2) and I wanted to compile a new kernel but get the following error message when I execute make menuconfig: rm -f include/asm ( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm) make -C scripts/lxdialog all make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog' gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -DLOCALE -DCURSES_LOC=curses.h -c -o lxdialog.o lxdialog.c In file included from lxdialog.c:22: dialog.h:29: curses.h: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [lxdialog.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog' make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2 I've downloaded the sources for kernel 2.2.15 and 2.2.16. They both don't work. I've also installed the deb package kernel-source and kernel-headers. Why is this devided ? Am I missing a package ? Thx. Jens

Do apt-get install libncurses5-dev to get a necessary header file in order to do make menuconfig. You don't need curse for either make config or make oldconfig.
