OK, I'm absolutely jacked off with trying to compile a kernel.

_Every_ time I try to run "make menuconfig" to configure the mongrel, I
get told "Piss off, you don't have ncurses installed".

Only trouble is - I do. Including the developement package.

I've even updated it to the one from SuSE 7.3 instead of 7.2 - the mongrel
_still_ won't work.

The suggested fix is to recompile the lxdialog portion of the source code
- and when I do that, *that* complains I don't have ncurses installed.

I've checked the bloody makefile, and the directories specified for the
ncurses library are correct - the library exists, is in the right place,
and as far as I can tell has the right permissions.

I get this when trying to re-compile lxdialog

fred:/usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog # make all
/bin/sh: -lncurses: command not found

>> Unable to find the Ncurses libraries.
>>
>> You must have Ncurses installed in order
>> to use 'make menuconfig'

make: *** [ncurses] Error 1

Can anyone tell what the frij I have to do to make this work? Am I missing
an environment variable? If so, does anyone know what it is?

I'm at my wits end here. Any advice greatfully received.
