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.
