I've sent a message to the kernel mailing list about the ncurses error. It
seems that the kernel sources' make target, 'make menuconfig', *has* an
appropriate error message when the system does not have ncurses.
On my TSL system, I removed ncurses and got the correct error message, here:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.28-11tr# make menuconfig
<snip>
>> Unable to find the Ncurses libraries.

<snip>
A reply on the kernel mailing list indicates that a similar error is spewed
by make (I think this was on 2.6.x):
echo " *** Unable to find the ncurses libraries."
echo " *** make menuconfig require the ncurses libraries"
echo " *** "
echo " *** Install ncurses (ncurses-devel) and try again"
echo " *** "
So I guess there's no need for a bug report and no need for a patch since
the make target gives the appropriate error. Are you seeing something
different?
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Carlo
