And so it was with great alacrity that I downloaded the new 2.2.18
kernel, the first to be released since my conversion to the Way and the
Light (i.e. Debian) and proceeded to attempt my first kernel compile on
my woody box.
And lo, consternation! After untarring i get
colossus:/usr/src/linux# 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-2.2.18/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-2.2.18/scripts/lxdialog'
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
colossus:/usr/src/linux#
What have I done wrong?
What package have I left out?
All advice welcome, especially if it's useful.
