menuconfig & xconfig
With the newest benh (2.4.20) I am unable to run "make xconfig" or "make
menuconfig". This is a problem.
"make menuconfig" says I must have ncurses. But I do. apt-get reports
ncurses-base, ncurses-bin, and libncurses5 are up-to-date.
"make xconfig" complains about something in drivers/video/Config.in.
The error messages are below. I'd love some help here. I'm running 2.4.19
now and can't run MOL because all the MOL modules are compiled against my
benh tree, which is now 2.4.20.
