Package: linux-source-2.6.25
Version: 2.6.25-7
Severity: normal
when running make menuconfig from /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.25 as a non-privileged user
the error returned is :
|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.
***
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/dochecklxdialog] Error 1
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
However, running as root works fine, as expected.
I think perhaps make should tell me I need higher privileges?
