I am guessing your host machine is ubuntu 12.04 (Precise)?? If so, I faced similar problem sometime back and I tried lot of things to resolve the same. I am not remembering the exact steps or sequences but please do check this: 1. check for build-essential package: sudo apt-get build-essential 2. sometimes in 12.04 apt-get fails with --fix-missing suggestion, so carefully check the same do sudo apt-get update --fix-missing and then apt-get install <package> again. 3. install these packages: sudo apt-get install libncurses5 libncurses5-dev libelf-dev libncurses5 libncursesw5-dev Another best way to install any packages in Ubuntu, 1. visit http://packages.ubuntu.com/ 2. find required package for required Ubuntu version. 3. Browse thorough your search result and pick deb packages for i386/amd64 (as per your machine). Hope this will help you as well. regards, On Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 7:31 AM, g.wangweihong@gmail.com < g.wangweihong@gmail.com> wrote:
hello all: I had a problem. I want to build a kernel-2.6.22.19 in my ubuntu which's kernel is 3.2 for embedded platform. But i failed in the step of *make menuconfig*. It tips as this:

I google for this problem, it says i didn't install the *ncurses. *
i libncurses5 - shared libraries for terminal handling i libncurses5-dbg - debugging/profiling libraries for ncurses i libncurses5-dev - developer's libraries for ncurses
But after I install the lib , it doesn't change.
The script *linux/scripts/kconfig/lxdialog**/check-lxdialog.sh*contain these messages:
ldflags() { for ext in so a dylib ; do for lib in ncursesw ncurses curses ; do $cc -print-file-name=lib${lib}.${ext} | grep -q / if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo "-l${lib}" exit fi done done exit 1 }
# Where is ncurses.h? ccflags() { if [ -f /usr/include/ncurses/ncurses.h ]; then echo '-I/usr/include/ncurses -DCURSES_LOC="<ncurses.h>"' elif [ -f /usr/include/ncurses/curses.h ]; then echo '-I/usr/include/ncurses -DCURSES_LOC="<ncurses/curses.h>"' elif [ -f /usr/include/ncurses.h ]; then echo '-DCURSES_LOC="<ncurses.h>"' else echo '-DCURSES_LOC="<curses.h>"' fi }
libncurses appear in /usr/lib ,and the head file appear in /usr/include.
kiongf@ubuntu:/usr/lib$ ls | grep curse libncurses_g.a libncurses++_g.a libncurses.so.5.7 libncurses++w_g.a libncursesw_g.a
kiongf@ubuntu:/usr/include$ ls | grep ncurse ncurses_dll.h ncurses.h ncursesw
I have trapped in this problem for several days, please help me if you have any good ideas.
Thanks.
