error during make menuconfig...



     Yesterday i revived my old PC, P133, 16MB RAM, 
3sX CDROM 800MB HD. i installed an my debian (Debian 
GNU/Linux 2.2 r2 "Potato"). It installed fine, i then 
instaled the kernel-source-2.2.18pre21. My problem is 
that when i do a "make menuconfig" i get the follwing 
error messgaes:

---- The Error Message  ----
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts/lxdialog all
make[1]: Entering directory
`/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.18pre21/scripts/lxdialog'
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer

lxdialog.c

make[1]: *** [lxdialog.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.18pre21/scripts/lxdialog'
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2

---------  end of error message   ---------

at first my hunch was that the ncurses was not
installed but when i checked it i had ... 

ncurses-base, ncurses-bin and libncurses5 installed...

in my previous "errors" during `make menuconfig` i 
would be able to solve problems by installed the 
ncurses package...

is this more than an uninstalled package problem... or

its just that in the old version of debian i need to 
install the some packages to get this right... 

Thanks in advance!!!


Best Regards,

znah
