Check to make sure you don't have any old dev ncurses packages remaining. Either way I'd say uninstall all your dev ncurses packages, make sure there's no poo left in /usr/include and install the one you want. Also, grab a fresh, normal tarball from a kernel.org mirror and try that on for size. I vaguely remember having this problem once but I can't quite remeber what I did to solve it. The though that I said 'fuck it' and installed ncurses from source is pretty strong though. > If I try and follow those instructions and rebuild lxdialog, I get this > > fred:/usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog # make clean all > rm -f core *.o *~ lxdialog > /bin/sh: -lncurses: command not found This is because it's no longer an independant makefile and the doco's misleading. It needs the base makefile. Then again I'm looking at the 2.4.17-rc1 Makefiles. :) > Is that providing any more light? A wee bit.
