In the kernel source, when i do "make menuconfig" i get the error:

Thanks. It must have got uninstalled when i was fixing broken package problems.


/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses


Check that you have the following on your system.

apt-get install libncurses5-dev

  /usr/include/curses.h
  /usr/lib/libncurses.a
  /usr/lib/libncurses.so


I think i *have* got ncurses installed, because midnight commander runs, and
sudo ldconfig -p:


Note that you do not need sudo for 'ldconfig -p'.  It is a read-only
command.

ldconfig updates /etc/ld.so.cache, so sudo is needed:
