I am getting the following error and i am unable to rectify it. *mamse@mamse-ThinkCentre-M80:~/linux-3.15.8$ make menuconfig *** Unable to find the ncurses libraries or the *** required header files. *** 'make menuconfig' requires the ncurses libraries. *** *** Install ncurses (ncurses-devel) and try again. *** make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/dochecklxdialog] Error 1make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2mamse@mamse-ThinkCentre-M80:~/linux-3.15.8$* On Fri, Aug 1, 2014 at 11:19 AM, David kiarie <davidkiarie4@gmail.com> wrote:
In future, ask this distro related questions on the ubuntu forums, or even try google :-)
Looking at your problem it seems that ncurses-devel is not the package name for what you are looking for.
You could try, "apt-cache search ncurses", from the list, get the name of the package you are looking for.
