Thanks all.
Problem solved.
It was merely shooting myself in the foot.
In the course of comparing use of header resources for compiling
ltmodem.o, I temporarily renamed /usr/include --> /usr/Include
Temporarily means, I forgot to /usr/Include --> /usr/include
immediately after the little experiment.

how the heck did u accomplish this??

in /usr/include i have a link to the kernel include files, but
/usr/include as a link to the kernel includes where have u installed
the glibc includes? and the include files for al those other lib's (like
ncurses u need for make menuconfig).

My suggestion is to remove quickly that link and reinstall all the
*.-dev*.deb files you had installed.

Greetz,

kernel menus

2001-03-01 Thread Marvin Stodolsky
Trying to keep Lucent WinModem drivers available to Users for
kernels-2.4.nn, now 2.4.2, I've run into menu config problems

My 
# ls -l /usr/include
lrwxrwxrwx1 root root   29 Mar  1 14:46 /usr/include ->
kernel-headers-2.1.17/include

While I can do the ancient:
  make config

I've broken capability to 
  make menuconfig 
  make xconfig
with complaints like:

# make menuconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts/lxdialog all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.2/scripts/lxdialog'
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -DLOCALE

Dropping down to a 2.2.17 boot ( the current) doesn't help.

Any suggestions?

My alternative boot kernels are 2.2.17, 2.4.0.,2.4.1,2.4.2.,
2.2.18pre21-idepci

Please email to me direct.
