Package: linux-source-2.6.25 Version: 2.6.25-7 Severity: normal
when running make menuconfig from /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.25 as a non-privileged user the error returned is : |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 However, running as root works fine, as expected. I think perhaps make should tell me I need higher privileges? -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages linux-source-2.6.25 depends on: ii binutils 2.18.1~cvs20080103-7 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii bzip2 1.0.5-1 high-quality block-sorting file co Versions of packages linux-source-2.6.25 recommends: ii gcc 4:4.3.1-2 The GNU C compiler ii libc6-dev [libc-dev] 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Development Librari ii make 3.81-5 The GNU version of the "make" util Versions of packages linux-source-2.6.25 suggests: ii kernel-package 11.001-0.1 A utility for building Linux kerne ii libncurses5-dev [ncurses- 5.6+20080804-1 developer's libraries and docs for pn libqt3-mt-dev <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
