Hello, I re-installed debian-woody on my machine (AMD K7 xp1500+) using the network install from a minimal CD (http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/). The full installation (using tasksel to get everything I thought needed), apparently, went fine - no glitches.
I then updated the kernel by `apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-1-k7` and got the corresponding sources by `apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.18`. After untarring the source (and creating a symlink /usr/src/linux to point to the newly created directory) I tried to configure the kernel via `make menuconfig` -- heres the error(s) I got: ----------------- rm -f include/asm ( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm) make -C scripts/lxdialog all make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18/scripts/lxdialog' /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses collect2: ld returned 1 exit status >> Unable to find the Ncurses libraries. >> >> You must have Ncurses installed in order >> to use 'make menuconfig' make[1]: *** [ncurses] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18/scripts/lxdialog' make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2 ----------------- Now, I tried to apt-get install all the ncurses packages that matched `apt-cache search ncurses | grep ncurses` and found that ncurses-base, ncurses-bin, ncurses-term, libncurses5, libncurses5-dev, libncurses5-dbg were all installed. I ran /sbin/ldconfig and tried again, with the same results. Was not quite sure what to try next. Please help!
