menuconfig issue (checklist) in 2.6.20.7 & 2.6.21-rc7 ?

[Sunil Naidu]

Hello,

I was trying to compile those kernels with make menuconfig. I am
getting the error in scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.o. Here is the
output:

you should install ncurses library:

---> or directory

good luck.

Don't compile kernel as root.

And before doing make menuconfig, install ncurses package (both
the library and development files).

/mjt

That was a mistake out of hurry, I never compile as root (sudo).

Just got the time to look back to the problem. Silly me (not getting
the thought to cross-check), this kernel work is really blowing up my
nights & mind ;-) Thanks to all.

I guess you need to install the curses development package.  Here it's called
ncurses-devel.

There are general funnies in the menuconfig world (my preference) here.
For instance, I recently had reason to change/test different default IO
schedulers, and found that no matter what I did, I couldn't select a
default IO scheduler any more, though I used to be able to do so.  If I
totally whack my .config, i.e. use default config, I still _can't
select_.  If I take my current .config back to a kernel where I could
select (a 2.6.16 tree i still have lying about) I can't select either,
but with the config I had at the time, I could/can select just fine.  If
I use xconfig (don't really like, but...) I can select, and a manual
edit would likely also work just fine.

Box is P4, with SuSe 10.2.. haven't had time to see if maybe there's
some weird userland ncurses problem.  Just a note in case others are
seeing problems in this area.   Not much of a bug report I know, but
maybe useful for readers and those who keep strange events in the backs
of their minds ;)

check-lxdialog.sh should be extended to catch this case.
We can link but .h file is not present.
Will take a look at it later.

Tried it now with latest -git from Linus and here it works.
Notice that you need to make the scheduler a built-in <*>
before you can select it as default.
A scheduler selected as a module <M> cannot be made default.

Ok, I guess my ncurses is ill.  (all built in)  Thanks.

No, I have more modules that you can shake a stick at.

CONFIG_MODULES=y
