E: Couldn't find package libncurses5-dev
so I downloaded it from http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/
unzipeed it to /usr/src/linux-2.6.31.6
now when I am trying to use make menuconfig I am receiving following error
death:/usr/src/linux-2.6.31.6# make menuconfig
*** Unable to find the ncurses libraries or the
*** required header files.
*** 'make menuconfig' requires the ncurses libraries.
***
*** Install ncurses (ncurses-devel) and try again.
