make menuconfig says I don't have ncurses
I tried executing 'make menuconfig; in my kernel (2.4.20) source directory on
my Woody box and received this error:
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20/scripts/lxdialog'
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
>> Unable to find the Ncurses libraries.
>>
>> You must have Ncurses installed in order
>> to use 'make menuconfig'
make[1]: *** [ncurses] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20/scripts/lxdialog'
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
However, 'locate ncurses' show this at the top of the list:
/lib/libncurses.so.5
/lib/libncurses.so.5.2
and 'apt-show-versions |grep ncurses' shows this:
ncurses-term/stable uptodate 5.2.20020112a-7
ncurses-bin/stable uptodate 5.2.20020112a-7
libncurses5/stable uptodate 5.2.20020112a-7
ncurses-base/stable uptodate 5.2.20020112a-7
Any ideas on what is going on here?
