Hey, I'm running Debian/Lenny which I update weekly. I downloaded the Linux source version 2.6.23.1 from the kernel.org site and uncompressed the file all with no problem. The next step was to create the configuration which I did by running;
make defconfig This ran again without a problem. I next wanted to modify that configuration before I built the kernel which I tried to do by executing the following command; make menuconfig This is where I am stuck! I get the following error message after executing that command. [I have only included the first few lines of the error message because the rest of the compiler errors are the result of the first few I think. I can post the rest if needed.] // Begin. HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.o In file included from scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.c:24: scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/dialog.h:32:20: error: curses.h: No such file or directory In file included from scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.c:24: scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/dialog.h:97: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘chtype’ // End. Seeing that I could build the default configuration without having to setup any paths to source files I would have thought that the build for the menuconfig would not require setting up any paths as well. But I can't find any reference as to how these paths should be should be setup if that is was I am supposed to do. I am using Linux Kernel In a Nutshell as a reference and have read the README that comes withs the kernel source as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Randy
