Greetings.

I've just managed to download the kernel 2.4.10 source tree, and am
attempting to compile it for install.

However, when I run the following command

make menuconfig

I get some weird behaviour.

What happens is that the top level menu appears OK, but whenever I try
and access a submenu or option from the top level menu, I get this

===begin snip===

There seems to be a problem with the lxdialog companion utility which is
built prior to running Menuconfig.  Usually this is an indicator that you
have upgraded/downgraded your ncurses libraries and did not remove the
old ncurses header file(s) in /usr/include or /usr/include/ncurses.

It is VERY important that you have only one set of ncurses header files
and that those files are properly version matched to the ncurses libraries
installed on your machine.

You may also need to rebuild lxdialog.  This can be done by moving to
the /usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog directory and issuing the
"make clean all" command.

If you have verified that your ncurses install is correct, you may email
the maintainer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or post a message to
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for additional assistance.

make: *** [menuconfig] Error 139
fred:/usr/src/linux #
===end snip===

Now, as far as I know, I have ncurses installed - the kernel compile has
worked just fine up until now at kernel 2.4.4 and 2.4.7 - it's only since
installing the 2.4.10 tree that it's broken.

Anyone got a suggestion? Is this a known problem somewhere, and I'm just
too stupid to find the hints? Feel free to jump in and tell me what a
butthead I am for missing the obvious.

Curses/ncurses version installed is 5.2 in case it means anything.

Thanks.

DaZZa
