When you run the command make menuconfig you will get error like: ================================ In file included from scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.c:24: scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/dialog.h:32:20: error: curses.h: No such file or directory In file included from scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.c:24: ================================ First check for the ncurses version you got there with you using this command: rpm -qa |grep ncurses.
And go to this url: http://rpm.pbone.net/ and search for ncurses-devel now you will get all the version. Try find your version, download and install the same by rpm -ivh ncurses-devel-.rpm. If ncurses is not installed on your system please download both the ncurses and ncurses-devel and install.
