Kernel, make menuconfig
I am trying to recompile the kernel according to KERNEL HOWTO, when I do make menuconfig it complains that there is no rule. I checked the info make, it tells me that rule is a file that instructs about changes to be made. The same happens with xconfig. This is vague for me, I have not any good understanding of how exactly the kernel works, so I don't think I can instruct how that should be done. Do we have a simpler way in Debian? Can you point some way for understanding what to do? Thanks, Antonio.

Therefore, a workaround is to upgrade to unstable. I had been changing my /etc/apt/sources.list back and forth between stable and unstable in order to install the newest gnome-card-games (better features in gnome-freecell) and apparently mixing stable and unstable like that is not a good thing (it also did very nasty things to the dselect descriptions and etc). At any rate, my fix was to do an "apt-get install libncurses4-dev"; I don't remember if I was pointing to stable, unstable, or both.

I did have the ncurses dev installed, but a couple of days ago I installed some little something (I don't remember what now; maybe it was the gcd audio cd player) and then a day or two later I discovered this problem. Go figure. At any rate, it works again now; thanks!

ncurses: kernel make menuconfig complains
Package: ncurses Version: N/A Severity: normal I got the following lines when trying to make menu config. How can I solve it ? Aren't dependency problems supposed to be fixed automatically by dpkg ? There seems to be a problem with the lxdialog companion utility which is built prior to running Menuconfig. Usually this is an indicator that you have upgraded/downgraded your ncurses libraries and did not remove the old ncurses header file(s) in /usr/include or /usr/include/ncurses. It is VERY important that you have only one set of ncurses header files and that those files are properly version matched to the ncurses libraries installed on your machine. You may also need to rebuild lxdialog. This can be done by moving to the /usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog directory and issuing the "make clean all" command. If you have verified that your ncurses install is correct, you may email the maintainer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or post a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for additional assistance. make: *** [menuconfig] Error 139 - -- System Information Debian Release: potato Kernel Version: Linux rakefet 2.2.12 #1 Thu Oct 14 09:29:24 EST 1999 i586 unknown

Do you have the ncurses package installed? The menuconfig program needs it. "G. Crimp" wrote: > > Hi, > > I tried doing a make menuconfig instead of make config to configure > the kernel.

RE: make menuconfig
You need ncurses-dev. In Debian a library exists as libfoo or sometimes just foo. To compile something using that library requires the matching libfoo-dev or foo-dev.
make menuconfig
Hi, I tried doing a make menuconfig instead of make config to configure the kernel. Very near the beginning it craps out because of a missing curses.h file. (This is a Deb 2.0 box by the way, kernel 2.0.34) The make script cd's to /usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog. curses.h is an include in lxdialog.c: In file included from lxdialog.c:22: dialog.h:29: curses.h: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [lxdialog.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.34/scripts/lxdialog' make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2 Did a find on the entire file system and it didn't turn up anywhere. Any idea why I wouldn't have it on my system ? Thanks, Gerald

What's your TERM environment variable set to? On my system, if it's "linux", "rxvt", or "xterm-debian" it uses color and lines. "vt100" goves lines but no color. "xterm" gives ASCII chars and no color. The default for a console should be "linux". For an Xterm from the deb package, it should be "xterm-debian". For an rxvt, it should be "rxvt".

Ignored. Netscape startups but will anyone explain how i can solve this? 3)make menuconfig Installing 2.0.36, I got this error: There seems to be a problem with the lxdialog companion utility which is built prior to running Menuconfig. Usually this is an indicator that you have upgraded/downgraded your ncurses libraries and did not remove the old ncurses header file(s) in /usr/include or /usr/include/ncurses. It is VERY important that you have only one set of ncurses header files and that those files are properly version matched to the ncurses libraries installed on your machine. You may also need to rebuild lxdialog. This can be done by moving to the /usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog directory and issuing the "make clean all" command. If you have verified that your ncurses install is correct, you may email the author <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or post a message on the linux.dev.kernel news group for additional assistance. make: *** [menuconfig] Error 139 Anyone help me pls? 4) When I tried to run mtv(mpeg player) I get this error: debian:~/mtv# ./mtv ./mtv: '/usr/lib/libforms.so.0.88' is not an ELF file ./mtv: '/lib/libforms.so.0.88' is not an ELF file ./mtv: can't load library 'libforms.so.0.88' I had earlier on according to the README mv libforms.so.0.88 to /usr/lib and ran ldconfig: debian:~# ldconfig ldconfig: warning: /usr/lib/libforms.so.0.88 is not a shared library, skipping ldconfig: warning: /usr/lib/libpthread-mpegtv.so.0.7 is not a shared library, skipping ldconfig: warning: /usr/lib/libpthread-mpegtv.so.0 is not a shared library, skipping ldconfig: warning: /lib/libpthread-mpegtv.so.0.7 is not a shared ldconfig: warning: /lib/libpthread-mpegtv.so.0.7 is not a shared library, skipping ldconfig: warning: /lib/libforms.so.0.88 is not a shared; ibrary, skipping Any help would be appreciated Thanx

It is time you were introduced to a very nice tool -- kernel-package. This package will make kernel debs for you. This way you only make config then make-kpkg binary.

Why make xconfig, but not make menuconfig or make config?
For a long time now, I have been using make xconfig to compile a new kernel, and I've compiled about 100 times that way. But I recently messed up the configuration, and can only use the console. But whenever I try to compile with menuconfig or config, everything compiles okay, but the system uses the old kernel (the last kernel compiled after make xconfig). This is the command line for make xconfig: make xconfig; make dep; make clean; make zlilo; make modules; make modules_install This always works (Though I don't always get a bootable kernel ;-) ) This is the command line for menuconfig: make menuconfig; make dep; make clean; make zlilo; make modules; make modules_install As I said, this doesn't work. I've tried doing make mrproper before all this as well, no difference. I'm using kernel 2.0.34, the latest version of gcc (hamm), and I don't know what else would be helpful.

Can anyone tell me why I keep getting this message when I try to 'make menuconfig' on my system to try to recompile my kernel. I also get the same basic error message when trying to 'make dep' so therefore I cannot properly recompile my kernel :(( Any suggestions would be appreciated. BTW It was suggested to me that I edit Makefile, but as I am not that far along in my learning of C programming, I dont know what needs edited, if anything, which my first guess tells me it is not a problem with the Makefile or it would have been well documented by now.
