lin@lin-machine:~/linux-2.6.35.3$ 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 1 make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
解决思路
ncurses是字符终端下屏幕控制的基本库。可能很多新开发的程序已经不再使用。假如要编译一些老的程序，还是会经常碰到。
解决这个问题可以通过下面的解决方法来搞定。打开一个终端输入下面这条语句按回车进行安装即可。
apt-get install libncurses5-dev

好了再make menuconfig一下，OK了
