hello all, just a few minutes back I tried to compile a kernel by using make menuconfig. it is giving so many errors that I can't even post on this list. what could be the problem? am I missing some packages on my ubuntu 6.06 server? I have the build-esssential package installed which probably has installed glib libc 6 etc along with gcc 4 and make. now I want to knwo what else is remaining? it appears to me that even ncursis is also installed although I am not quite sure of the same. I have linux2.6.16.18 kernel source which I downloaded from kernel.org since I needed a vanila kernel. any suggestions? Krishnakant.
Hi krishnakant,
have you tried ?
make gconfig
make menuconfig errors may be due to some problems in ncurses libraries.
