Re: make menuconfig problem - Thanks

2007-09-14 Thread Thomas H. George
A very late but heartfelt thanks.  I have been unable to respond
properly for the past several days as I struggled with the postfix
setup.  This has finally been resolved with a great deal of help from
Andrei.

I installed libncurses5-dev.  Now make menuconfig works perfectly.

I know there is another package which must be installed before make 
menuconfig will work but I have forgotten what it is.

apt-get install libncurses5-dev.  This is not an essential package,
which is why your fix-broken-upgrade and friends had not worked.  You
could still have run make config without any trouble, as it doesn't
require the ncurses libraries.

Make Menuconfig Problem

2001-05-18 Thread Thomas H. George
I sent this message two days ago but missed any answers as I had not 
subscribed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 

I am recovering from a disk crash and installed linux2.2.17 from an 
official binary-i386, version 2.2_r0 CD set.  I rushed and missed the 
option which would have included parport in the installation.  My plan 
to correct this was to download linux-2.2.19.tar.bz2 and build a new 
kernel.  All went well until make menuconfig.  This aborted with the 
message:


  In file included from lxdialog.c:22:
  dialog.h:29 curses.h No such file or directory

I have run apt-get update and apt-get --fix-broken dist-upgrade.

I have checked required versions of the packages listed in the Changes 
file and obtained all the necessary updates.


I still cannot run make menuconfig.

How do I correct this problem?

make menuconfig problem

1998-02-21 Thread Charles
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.
