Last night I installed libc6_2.1.1-7 and potato's xcdroast using apt-get
on my hamm system. During the process the ncurses package was also
upgraded.
Today when I ran "make menuconfig" in my kernel-source tree I get the
following error message:
----------------------------
There seems to be a problem with the lxdialog companion utility which is
built prior to running Menuconfig. Usually this is an indicator that you
have upgraded/downgraded your ncurses libraries and did not remove the
old ncurses header file(s) in /usr/include or /usr/include/ncurses.
It is VERY important that you have only one set of ncurses header files
and that those files are properly version matched to the ncurses libraries
installed on your machine.
You may also need to rebuild lxdialog. This can be done by moving to
the /usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog directory and issuing the
"make clean all" command.
If you have verified that your ncurses install is correct, you may email
the author <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or post a message on the linux.dev.kernel
news group for additional assistance.
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 139
------------------------------------------------
I found a ncurses.h file in my /usr/include directory and renamed it but
the same error message occured again. I then did the "make clean all" in
/usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog and it did not help.
I thought that debian's packaging system was supposed to take care of
something like this.
I do not know which files to remove or how to correct this problem?
