Look I'm hugely behind on email but if nobody's solved it for you you're probably going to need ncurses-devel package. Generally speaking if you're compiling stuff you need the -devel packages for 'dependencies'. These have the information about function calls needed to interface to the pre-compiled libraries you probably already have installed. > I cant use make xconfig, because I dont have a funtional x windows install > > I can't be the only person using debian 2.4.12 who needs scsi - there must > be a debian package for it somewhere! I don't run debian, but in deperation, get somebody who's running that kernel on debian, who's got SCSI to email you their module binary, if the CPU type and kernel version match and it's a pretty standard setup at both ends it probably has an 80% chance of working. If you've *never* compiled the kernel you might find a suitable module on the CD's you installed from. Again I don't know Debian so don't know specifically what to look for here. > Please help before I'm forced to go through make config... make config? it's not that bad really, if you stuff up it remembers all the decisions you've made so far and can just keep pressing enter until you get to that point again (but remember to stop <grin>). -- ---<GRiP>--- Web: www.arcadia.au.com/gripz Phone/fax: 02 4950 1194 Mobile: 0408 686 201 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
