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.
